   North Shore Serenity

Artist Sandi Pillsbury Gredzens

I am Sandi Pillsbury Gredzens. I am a native Minnesotan who lives on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Castle Danger. I have always been drawn to the beauty of natural surroundings, which inspires my work. I am currently working on four bodies of work: Minnesota’s wildflowers, waterfalls, lakescapes and my personal garden series. I have recently rediscovered the joys and challenges of painting outside (en plein aire).

I have been a practicing artist for 40 years, and have been an educator for 30 plus years. I recently retired from teaching at Two Harbors High School where I taught art. I continue to give private lessons in my home as well as teaching special workshops and Community Education classes.

I am very involved with several arts organizations and boards and currently serve on the Grand Marais Art Colony Board, Northwoods Pioneer Gallery and Gift Board, Northern Lake County Arts Board, and the Lake Superior School District CAPP Committee. I am co-president of the Voyageur Art Club in Two Harbors.  I am also currently a member of the Minnesota State Arts Board, where I serve as an "Artist in Residence" on their roster of available artists for workshops and classes.

I have recently renamed my painting business, “North Shore Serenity” I feel that my art gives the viewer a sense of serenity and peace.
