Plein Air Artist Demonstration with Hannah Heyer
Friday, October 3, 2025 | 3p - 5p | Lake Park
Plein air artist, Hannah Heyer, will be doing a live demonstration of her work at Lake Park, meeting at the Winona Visitor’s Center. This demonstration is outdoors, free, and open to the public to watch or to paint along.
This plein air artist demonstration is part of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum’s Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience: Boats, Bridges, and Backwaters, a weekend of workshops, exhibitions, presentations, and public programs in Winona, MN. Now in its third year, the Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience brings together two creative communities committed to making artwork out of doors: today’s urban sketchers and traditional plein air painters. Staged from MMAM, known for its stunning location on the Mississippi River in Southeast Minnesota’s Driftless Region and a world-class art collection, the Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience is quickly becoming the fall destination for painters and sketchers alike.

About the artist
Hannah C. Heyer is a self-taught artist living and working in rural southeastern Minnesota. Working primarily outdoors, painting from life, her work is a study and celebration of place, time, and season. Living on the farm which has been in her family for six generations, her roots and love for the land run deep. The rhythms of the seasons and the history, hardships, and beauty of this life inspire and inform her work. Hannah C. Heyer
