 Online Exhibit:
Ada Hayden, Visionary of the American Prairie
Oil/Mixed Media Paintings by Celeste Birkeland
Formerly of Lanesboro, Celeste now paints from her home in Santa Fe, N.M., experiencing a significant cultural and climatic change (she is now surrounded by the high desert). The exhibit can be seen online at www.celestebirkeland.com or www.adahayden.com.
The idea for the exhibit came about several years ago, when Celeste first visited the Ada Hayden Prairie Preserve in northeast Iowa. “I was captivated by the bobolinks. The colorful birds were flitting around the scrap of native prairie, a mere 240 acres of virgin prairie surrounded by an ocean of corn and soybeans,” says Celeste. Dr. Hayden (1884–1950) was ahead of her time in recognizing the value, importance and beauty of the prairies. Ada Hayden saw the prairie around her being changed forever and had the vision to see its beauty and necessity; blending art and science throughout her life, she used art, eloquent writing, and science to advance her cause. “These ten paintings and narrative text on the website are my homage to Ada Hayden and our native prairie landscape. They represent a new direction for my art, and a way to create art that really matters to me. I am especially excited to make connections between art and science, history and the role/lives of women,” says Celeste.
This exhibit is presented in cooperation with the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, Inc. through funding from the Minnesota State Legislature, and with support from Lanesboro Web Management, Lanesboro Arts Center, Iowa State University and its Ada Hayden Herbarium.
