Pastors and Painters - Presenter: Tom Maakestad

Tom Maakestad works and lives in Marine on the St Croix, MN where he has maintained a studio for the past 16 years. As a painter, Maakestad’s main subject matter continues to be inspired by the broad valleys and agricultural regions near his family farm in Northfield, MN. These landscape paintings have been included in collections at the Mayo Clinic and many others across the US and overseas. The US State Department purchased four of his southern Minnesota oil pastels for the Ambassador’s residence in Oslo, Norway. Maakestad has been an active member of the Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis which is one of the most recognized and longstanding galleries in the midwest. Mindekirken will enjoy an exhibit of his work in our lobby from Tuesday, August 26 - Sunday, October, 26.  and he will be featured in an upcoming article in The Norwegian American.
