WINONA, Minn. – Acrylics by Duluth artist Karen Savage-Blue will be on exhibit through December 31 at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. The exhibit is called “Laughing Waters.” Savage-Blue’s paintings explore themes of internal reflection, identifying with nature and exposing transitions from human to natural forms. Her work can be dreamlike and surreal, often depicting nature in raw form. She chooses platforms that lend themselves to thoughts and emotions that overcome the tendency to decipher meaning.
“Noticeably Still.” 2019. Acrylic on canvas.
