in the bold north
“Urban Life in the Bold North” is a series of oil paintings that depict downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul during the year of 2020. I had no idea how life would change when I started this project. Yet within a few months, my simple project became a soul-searching endeavor to capture a year like none other.

Small Studies
I created small studies to see if I like a composition before investing time and materials into a large scale canvas. Here are some of my studies for this project.
