Joint reception held for local artists

Photographer Corina Lee Kells and artist Krystl Louwagie hosted a joint artists’ reception at the gallery in the K.K. Berge building on Thursday, February 9th. Both artists spoke extensively about their works and what they mean to them as well as what they hope people take away from their exhibits. Kells’s exhibit is in the Emerging Artist’s gallery in the K.K. Berge building when you first walk in. On display are several photographs Kells took, mostly using herself as the model, expressing different parts and stages of both mental health struggles and addiction. Louwagie spoke about the layering techniques she used for each portrait she had up on display. She worked on multi-mixed media portraits of people in their face masks during the pandemic. Both artists say they hope their work inspires curiosity and helps them ask questions they may be hesitant to ask, especially about mental health. Both artists’ work will be on display through the end of February.

Some warm up by the weekend

We have seen some fog recently once again across Minnesota with the melting of the snow and fairly light winds. This has made for some travel difficulties at times, particularily late at night and early in the morning.

Pheasant feeding discouraged despite snowy winter

Animal-loving Minnesotans who leave corn for hungry pheasants at this time of year could be doing more harm than good, say wildlife experts with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. DNR wildlife managers have seen corn spread along roadsides, likely to help ringneck pheasants survive a difficult Minnesota winter.
