Beneath Our Fields: A Reflection on What Existed Prior to Our Croplands

drawings by Lois Peterson

May 15 – July 5

Peterson’s drawings are inspired by growing up on a 4th generation farm. She recognized the damage farming can do to native plants and has worked to reestablish them on her property. They have also become the subject for this show.

Prior to retiring from her teaching career in 2016, Peterson served as a Professor of Art/Art History for over 30 years. Peterson exhibits her work nationally and regionally in solo and group exhibitions.

Lois Peterson is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature; and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
