“Viewpoint”&nbsp;brings together the distinct artistic lenses of Brian Jensen and Mary Meuwissen to explore how we perceive our surroundings.&nbsp;Jensen offers a viewpoint rooted in clarity and memory—his precision-based acrylics on wood capture the iconic beauty of Minnesota’s landscapes and lakes with a storyteller’s eye. In contrast, Meuwissen offers a viewpoint from within. Her abstract, luminous layers of oil and wax paintings strip away the literal to reveal the emotional essence of a place. When looking at her pieces, you witness the joyful shifting of energy in nature.&nbsp; Exhibit runs May 20 thru July 20th. And meet the artists on May 31 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Please visit the website for ticketing details.

Bringing together three distinct voices, “Radiant Flow” celebrates the movement between nature, tradition, and modern expression. This exhibition explores how light and energy transition across different surfaces.&nbsp;Patty MacHalec’s plein-air style multimedia canvases display a classic depth. The organic, three-dimensional curves of Kristen Treuting’s gourds are stained with ornamental motifs. Jane Johnson's contemporary paintings vibrantly capture the fluid, ever-changing nature of the world around us. Together, these artists invite you to witness the "flow" that connects the tactile world with the human spirit. Exhibit runs June 19 thru August 19. And the Meet the Artists date: June 19. Please visit the website for ticketing details.
