“Memories Of Door County” On Exhibit

Marleah Grinnell. Submitted.

Memories of Door County, a collection of paintings by self-taught artist Marleah Grinnell, will be on view at the Ridges Sanctuary through May 17. 

The Ridges will host an artist reception April 25, 4-6 pm, at Cook- Albert Fuller Nature Center, 8166 Hwy 57 in Baileys Harbor. Grinnell will speak at 5 pm, and her art will be available for purchase through the Nature Store throughout the exhibition.

Grinnell’s installation demonstrates her deep emotional connection with nature. She began painting in 2019 to share this connection, and as a form of therapy to improve her eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills, which deteriorated seven years ago. Painting helps Grinnell escape the constant vertigo she experiences.
