About

Welcome to the Blue Heron Gallery, an art studio located in Winona, Minnesota, and home to artist Julia Corzier.

Below, you’ll find a few pieces of art by Julia, along with a brief description by her husband, Bill.

Nature Study

Several years ago our local junior high school was closing down and they had a great sale on all sorts of educational materials and furniture. In fact the kitchen table I am writing at right now came from their science department. One of the other treasures we picked up was a flip chart of various animal species with cross sections and systems diagrams. This chart and several old science books were the inspiration for Julia’s Nature Study.

The Invisible City

The Invisible City is a large painting, probably five feet across or so. Despite its abstract qualities, I still find it has that inviting Crozier element of making one want to climb into the painting and explore it. Just like a brick and mortar city, The Invisible City has a life inside its interior, or is it the interior that goes on under the brick and mortar, or under the appointments and telephone calls, or under the traffic patterns, or under any other of the myriad of other relational, mechanical, personal actions that make a city.
