Teri Power

It’s a lucky person who is able to spend time in beautiful places like Isle Royale National Park, Port Wing, Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Superior and my home in the woods in Amery, WI.

I grew up in and around Minneapolis and am spending the last half of my life in Wisconsin. We raised our three girls on a farm between Baldwin and Woodville and lived there amongst the corn and hay for 34 years.

I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota at Duluth and a Masters from the Minneapolis campus. I taught art for 15 years in New Richmond.

I have been fortunate to have wonderful teachers who have encouraged my drawing. Lately I have been experimenting with printmaking and digital techniques.

My work reflects my interest in how we humans are able to integrate our lives with the natural world. We hear a lot about how we are destroying the environment and of course we can improve many ways of living and change the course of how we impact on the earth. But, I am making the case that nature is very resilient. It has a remarkable ability to adapt, regenerate and continue on. In fact I would suspect that nature may outlive humankind as we know it in some form or another.
