93-year-old Minnesota artist's paintings being featured at Eden Prairie showcase
Here's a reminder that it's never too late to pursue your passion. Bertha Lunzer, 93, has rediscovered her love of art after stepping away from it many years ago.
Her family says she grew up on a farm in Hazelton, North Dakota, at a time when children had to be creative in things they did for fun.
"In school, she did art classes, and that's where she realized she liked to draw and used pastels and did different artwork there," said Anna Lunzer, Bertha's granddaughter. "Then when she finished school, she moved to Minneapolis for nursing school, and she just kind of stopped doing any art because it wasn't part of her school."
Now, some years after picking up the brush anew, Bertha Lunzer's paintings will now be presented at a special exhibit in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
"My grandma joined the art classes and realized she really enjoyed it and had the talent for it. We'd go over and visit her, and she'd show us the latest art from her class," Anna Lunzer said.
Bertha Lunzer's art exhibit will be on display at The Waters of Eden Prairie. The showcase runs through May 22, with gallery times running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
