Between a rock and a cold place

Lauri Svedberg 

Painter Lauri Svedberg celebrates the opening of her first solo show this Saturday at Artistic Indulgence. “Mineral-apolis” was inspired by a recent winter getaway to Arizona, where Svedberg started painting Mineral-apolisminerals she encountered there. The show combines those images with scenes from her favorite subject, the Twin Cities.

The artist and former art teacher is probably best known for her eclectic home in the Waite Park neighborhood, where she operated an art gallery between 1998 and 2006. She continues to use the space on 34th Avenue and Tyler Street as her studio and residence.

“Mineral-apolis” opens with a reception from 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20, at Artistic Indulgence, 302 E. Hennepin Ave. The show runs through Nov. 17. For more info, look for my article in the current issue of the Northeaster.  Dan Haugen
