north shore

The scenery of Minnesota's north shore is breath-taking. A weekend of relaxing, hiking, great food, and a ride on the new alpine coaster was just what I needed!
The timing was perfect. I took a break from two commissioned paintings of birch trees and didn't realize I would spend the weekend surrounded by thousands of birch! I snapped a few photos and am now ready to finish the birch tree paintings!

suburban office

Sienna Lynn Studio completed the interior design for a suburban Minneapolis office. This fast-track project was rewarding to see the client's vision come together so quickly! These computer technicians moved from a one room office to a much larger space, including a conference room, break room, and production area.
Before: After:

february funk

February.

The shortest month of the year always feels the longest, especially after another record snow fall.

I'm hoping these yellow tulips will help fend off the winter blues.

bold branding

Sienna Lynn Studio added finishing touches to the vibrant décor of an executive office in St. Paul. Here are a few additions to their newly branded space:

beauty

"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

imagination

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world."
-Albert Einstein terra cotta, sienna lynn studio
(18"x18" charcoal and pastel, aluminum frame)

moss

During a run earlier this Summer, I noticed some cool tree bark. I stopped to take a closer look and decided to use this color scheme in a future project.
This project: a large wall hanging with woven sticks which will incorporate these small canvases! Photos posted soon...

rooftop jungle

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to check out a rooftop exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. An evolving structure made of bamboo:

http://www.metmuseum.org/

"Big Bambú is a growing and changing sculpture―a vast network of 5,000 interlocking 30- and 40-foot-long fresh-cut bamboo poles, lashed together with 50 miles of nylon rope. It will continue to be constructed throughout the duration of the exhibition. The first phase of the structure―measuring about 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 30 feet high―was completed by opening day, April 27. The artists and rock climbers are continuing to build up the eastern portion of the sculpture to an elevation of 50 feet. An internal footpath artery system grows along with the structure, facilitating its progress."
