When Small Things from Nature Become Bigger than Life


Joy Hart’s exquisite oil paintings, inspired by nature, on exhibit at Savage City Art Wall now through October 31.

(An exert from a press release I did today) Joy Hartl takes tiny items from nature—like birds, butterflies and flowers, and magnifies them into large, realistic oil paintings. She finds inspiration from color and light, which is evident in her exhibit presented by Savage Arts Council at the City Art Wall in Savage City Hall now through Oct. 31.

Joy has been creating original oil paintings in her Prior Lake studio for the last ten years and is constantly experimenting with new creative approaches and methods. She is a classically trained artist that studied at Minnesota River School of Fine Art, workshops at Scottsdale Art School and with great artists including Joe Paquet, Patricia Geisheker.


“More than a decade ago, I began intensive study to help me unlock the subtle beauty created by nature. If my efforts allow you to see the beauty of a flower in a different way, appreciate the illusiveness of a cloud or admire the majesty of a sunset…then it is worth all those untold hours spent in front of an easel.” – Joy Hartl, Oil Painter
