This showcase of oil paintings uses collage language to explore particularly intense and overwhelming feelings of joy through isolated or repeated elements, saturated color palettes, and mixed styles of representation.
ArtHaus is pleased to announce The Leaf Has a Song In It, a solo exhibition of new botanical prints and mixed-media works by Minnesota artist and educator Stephanie Hunder. The show opens with a public reception on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., and will remain on view in the Doyle G Heyveld Gallery at ArtHaus through June 28, 2025.
Drawing on a lifelong connection to the woodlands and prairies of the Upper Midwest, Hunder combines collagraphic printmaking, cyanotype photography, and digital imaging to explore how we sense—and make sense of—the natural world. Leaves, branches, and other organic textures are physically pressed into the print surface, creating tactile impressions that seem to invite touch. These documentary traces are then layered with elegant scientific diagrams, prompting reflection on the ways empirical knowledge and lived experience intertwine.
“Spending time in nature engages all the senses,” says Hunder. “I want my prints to evoke that immersive feeling while also acknowledging the diagrams and data that shape our understanding of ecology today.”
Hunder holds a BFA and MA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and an MFA from Arizona State University. She teaches at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and the University of Minnesota, and was recently honored with the 2025 McKnight Fellowship in Printmaking.
