Watermark Art Center welcomes local artist Diamond Knispel and her exhibit “Wild Whimsy of the Northwoods” with a reception on February 10 from 5 to 7pm. Set against the Northwoods background, her intricate, whimsical paintings invite you to experience a warm spring day in the hidden lives of the wild world’s flora and fauna.
The exhibit begins with early morning and progresses through the day by examining different tableaux as the light changes and the forest occupants emerge. Each piece of work comes with its own short story. And while these stories reflect on the subjects of each piece, they also dig deeper into Knispel’s human experiences that influenced every paint stroke and color choice.
The exhibit is on display February 10 through April 28, 2023. Watermark galleries are free and open to the public Monday – Saturday from 10 to 5pm and located at 505 Bemidji Avenue N. in Bemidji, Minnesota, 218-444-7570. Visit WatermarkArtCenter.org for detailed event and exhibit information.
