St. Cloud Times — Art, science and culture will combine in “Native Skywatchers — Earth Sky Connections,” a series of 12 free art workshops and classes led by four artists with Native American heritage.
“For me personally, as an astronomer and an artist, I feel that art is to me about this expression that comes from the heart and a lot from our own experience,” said Annette Lee. “The science is kind of like the counter-balance to that, where the science is about logical thinking, linear thinking. But it also has some magic and some things that are amazing.”
Lee, a painter and an associate professor of astronomy and physics at St. Cloud State University, secured the $25,000 Minnesota State Arts Board grant that’s funding the series.
