Olson adds gallery open house

MINOT, N.D. – Minot State alumna Rosanne Olson ’72 has added a gallery open house to her busy schedule promoting “Rosanne Olson: A Creative Life” retrospective exhibition at the Northwest Arts Center, located on the lower level of the Gordon B. Olson Library.

The gallery open house is open to all students, staff, faculty, and the greater Minot community on Thursday, Oct. 13 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. There will be a public reception for the exhibition Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 6-8 p.m. Olson will be available during both events to visit about her exhibition.

On view from Oct. 6 to Nov 26, “A Creative Life” features film, digital photographs, and a small selection of mixed media artworks. The exhibition reflects a body of works continually modifying as life experiences change the artist.

An artist, photographer, and author, Olson, a Minot native, first discovered photography as an art at the age of 23 while studying a drop of blood under the microscope. Ever since, she has been in love with creating beautiful imagery. Olson received her Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from Minot State before pursuing her master’s degree in journalism from the University of Oregon.

“With the right light and sensitive timing, a photograph can convey so much more that words every could,” she said. “It can move us to action, move us to tears, inspire us, and preserve our memories.”
