Lunch & Learn: Following My Heart: From Court Reporting to Art & Writing with Geri Schrab

Geri Schrab, co-author of Hidden Thunder: Rock Art of the Upper Midwest, is an award-winning watercolor artist whose sole artistic focus is Native American rock art sites. She came to her artistic calling unexpectedly. Although always interested in art, she pursued a more secure career in court reporting. She and her husband visited their first rock art site in 1993. Since then rock art has remained her sole artistic focus and she now has twenty years of experience visiting and painting rock art sites across North America and Australia, with an emphasis on Wisconsin and the greater Lake Superior region.

Geri will talk about that transition from working in the structured courtroom to the free-flow life of an artist. She’ll also share photos and stories of some of the many ancient petroglyph and pictograph sites visited along the way. Copies of her book will be available for purchase and some of her artwork will be on display.
