Join us next week, April 12, at 1pm for a presentation and reception for Prior Lake artist, Maureen R. Sorenson. or over 50 years, Maureen has admired the artistry of the Minnesota State Fair Crop Art. In 2023 and 2024, she entered a series of my own creations, culminating in the coveted Grand Prize and Best of Show awards. Her winning kaleidoscope set celebrates the tapestry of Minnesota and its diverse cultures, utilizing a vibrant array of crop and plant seeds. Maureen finds joy in exploring the unexpected, from the luminous fluidity of wet-on-wet acrylics, where colors dance and mingle to create abstract floral and landscapes. This year, Maureen expanded her artistic horizons further by delving into the exciting world of sculpture. As an active member of the Savage Area Arts Community and a founding member of Prior Lake Art Dock, non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting local artists, Maureen is deeply committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive arts community within our region. This event is free and open to the public. (fb)
