Brian Peterson Arist Talk

Class Description

Join MPC as we welcome Star Tribune and natural life photographer, Brian Peterson for a Talk and Book Signing.

About the Book

Photographer Brian Peterson and Travel Editor Kerri Westenberg explored the distinct and diverse landscapes in all four corners of Minnesota, each in a different season. The two teamed up to create surprising, poignant views of the state and the collection has recently been published in a new book “Minnesota - State of Wonders".
Peterson and Westenberg, both native Minnesotans, share a deep affection for their homeland. That sensibility underlies every aspect of the “State of Wonders” project, which began as a series in the Travel section of the Star Tribune.

Through their combined vision, springtime awakes in the northwest with prairie chicken dances and unfurling, delicate plants. Tallgrass prairies and historic American Indian lands trumpet the full glory of summer. Autumn colors dazzle the Mississippi River Valley, and winter in the Arrowhead region holds both harsh cold and exquisite beauty. Collectively, their work illuminates Minnesota’s natural glories.
