The St. Croix River and northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness are two of the most scenic natural places in the Upper Midwest. Art inspired by their beauty is the subject of a show this summer in Stillwater.

“Northern Solitudes” will open June 8 at ArtReach St. Croix, featuring oil paintings by Mary Jo Van Dell and photography by John Kaul. Kaul primarily shoots photos in the St. Croix River watershed, while Van Dell’s focus is on the Boundary Waters.

    Just a quick note to say the works of John Kaul and Mary Jo Van Dell are truly stunning pieces and well worth the trip to Stillwater for the tour.
