2011 Artists Award Winners
Jay Steinke
Jay lives in the beautiful city of Duluth, Minnesota. Out his back door lay some of the country's most wild and pristine landscapes....Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. He has dedicated most of his career to photographing its moods and expressions, thereby getting to know the region intimately, through all the seasons. Another love of his is the European landscape. The "old world", rich in history and stunning beauty can be deeply experienced with the senses. Both the European landscape and this region of Minnesota have made strong impressions upon him. It is Jay's hope that the images will strike an emotional chord within you as you visually travel to these places.
