LOMMEN

Petra Johnita Lommen is a visual artist and Scandinavian-American transgender woman who received her BFA 1979 and MFA 1984 from the University of Minnesota.  She has extensively exhibited her artwork both regionally and nationally since 1972.  Ms. Lommen has also worked in the fields of Art education and Science education.
Petra Johnita Lommen’s art explores a personal creative feminine energy through archetypal themes referencing: the celestial beauty of the night sky; the visual poetry of women’s vintage costume design; musical composition influencing visual composition/visual composition evoking musical composition; observations of nature as essential inquiry; and her love for the scientific disciplines of astronomy, cosmology, paleontology, and geology. Through her creative involvement an autobiography emerges.
