Artist Uses work for Education and Advocacy at JHP Exhibit

The Johnson Heritage Post in Grand Marais is currently presenting an exhibit entitled, Species of Special Concern, presented by Minnesota artist Tanya Piatz. The exhibit runs from April 26 to May 19. She is also presenting an artist talk on her work Thursday, May 16 starting at 5 p.m.
Piatz, a self-taught artist, works to capture conservation needs worldwide with her art. She gathers much of her inspiration from personal observations of the landscape, research, and conservation efforts. She aims to inspire others in connection with the natural world through her art. In doing so, she hopes more people can learn about species of conservation need and help to promote habitat restoration.
