Gallery
From 1979 until 1991, the place to purchase originals by Maureen
Carlson was the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Then there
was a long dry spell, while Maureen concentrated on books,
videos and teaching, where no one-of-kinds were available for
sale.
Now things are coming full circle and Maureen is again offering some of her work for sale. Currently we only have a few pieces, but expect to see more in the near future.
