Postcards, a program airing on Pioneer PBS, will feature three artists from Minnesota, including Fergus Falls-based baker Jeney Christensen, Duluth-based multidisciplinary artist Jonathan Thunder, and Wood Lake artist Miles Taylor on its upcoming episode.
The program will air on Thursday, March 16 at 7 p.m. and will focus on the work and stories of these three artists.
Jeney Christensen, the owner of Peney Cakes Cupcakery, will share her journey of turning her baking hobby into a successful business.
Christensen sells her delicious baked goods online, at pop-ups, and out of her cupcake trailer in Fergus Falls.
She said, “Instead of working for the man, I wanted to be the woman,” about her decision to make the leap into entrepreneurship.
Jonathan Thunder, an enrolled member of the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe, is a painter and filmmaker based in Duluth.
In this episode, Thunder will share the inspiration behind his art, which incorporates a multidisciplinary approach
Miles Taylor, an artist based in Wood Lake, works with technology to create his art. He explores the relatively new medium of glitch art, which intentionally corrupts technology to create art.
As an experienced DJ and creative organizer, Taylor will also discuss combining aspects of urban life with the slower pace of life on the prairie.
