Dan Bruggeman, now a St. Paul resident, is a Nebraska native. Dan teaches in the fine art department at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. He has been awarded numerous grants, including the Minnesota State Arts Board Grants in 1993 and 1996, an Arts Midwest/NEA Visual Art Grant in 1994, and a McKnight Foundation Grant in 1997. Dan’s work straddles the conceptual gap between art and science by including elements of the aesthetic and the natural worlds. He seeks to use his painting to reveal both the discreet and indiscreet relationships humans have developed with nature. Dan explains: “the small vignettes that I present aspire to be subtle, engaging and even a little humorous. They are an imaginative and perhaps irrational effort to propose the re-introduction of native elements to our environment.” |
