Karen Savage-Blue: Laughing Waters

on view September 16, 2022 - January 15, 2023

Karen Savage-Blue is an Anishinaabe artist and member of the Fond du Lac Band of Ojibwe living and working on the Fond du Lac Reservation near Cloquet, MN. Her paintings explore themes of internal reflection, identifying with nature, and exposing transitions from human to natural forms. Her work can be dreamlike and surreal, and she depicts nature in its raw form, creating a platform where thoughts and emotions overcome the tendency to decipher meaning.
