New Public Artworks installed at the Holiday Center, Duluth, MN, photo by Bailey Tillman
Warm Greetings! I hope you are enjoying the beautiful outdoors. I am so excited to share some new public art installations with you!
North Shore Blue is a body of work with four new components, created specifically for the Holiday Center in Duluth. For North Shore Blue, I looked inward to draw upon my memories, feelings, and impressions of growing up near Lake Superior, the North Shore, and the City of Duluth. If you’re traveling North, please stop by!

As part of North Shore Blue installation, the artwork North Shore Blue – Horizon was recently installed. This 47 foot mural, located on Superior Street and visible only from the street, is a love letter to Lake Superior.
Six Public LightWindows installed for the City of Rochester, MN
10 x 132 feet, Acrylic on Tyvek with LED lights and plexiglass
Do you ever wonder what happens to my big installations after they close, such as Will to Meaning, commissioned by Rochester Art Center? I repurpose everything, transforming into something else. In this case, the City of Rochester commissioned me to install selections of Will to Meaning over a city block. These six 5 x12 foot works are an extension of my LightWindows created with Tyvek under plexiglass and LED lights. I am grateful to the City of Rochester and the Rochester Art Center for the opportunity and to all those amazing helpers who made the install happen!
The Well-Being Wall was a place for visitors to express themselves creatively. Visitors were asked to respond to the prompt: What does well-being mean to you? Using markers, each visitor created their response on a square developed and provided by myself. A large hanging grid was provided for the visitor to place their own work within the evolving section of the exhibition. Before they left the exhibition, they were invited to take a sticker as a gratitude gift. Click here for a short video of the Well-Being Wall.
