Winona Arts Center is pleased to present Climate Sensitive Birds of Southeast Minnesota, an exhibition featuring the work of Barbara Schwenk. Barbara holds a Bachelor of Science in Fine Art and serves as the art competition coordinator and consulting board member for the Med City Art Festival in Rochester.

Barbara’s deep interest in birds inspired this project. Her paintings focus on raising awareness about climate-sensitive birds. She has selected ten birds from southeast Minnesota that are familiar to the audience.
