Artist of the Month – Elizabeth Schwerm
“Being in the woods fills my soul.
Photography has changed the way I see the world. Suddenly I am aware of the details. I notice the colors, shadows, light and reflections. Everything around me is amplified. My pictures are eclectic but I am especially drawn to rural scenes.
I share my photographs on Instagram and have over 4000 followers. My photos have been shown on WCCO and in the StarTribune. I was thrilled when HOM Furniture purchased several of my photographs, reproduced them to look like oil paintings, and can be seen throughout their stores.”
