About the Artist
Throughout his life Stu Fjellanger has always wanted to create. From making comic books and home movies with family as a youth to becoming a prolific artist today, he loves to produce images in various styles and themes that people will enjoy and appreciate.
He graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a BFA degree in Design with an emphasis on Visual Communications. The combination of linoleum-cut printmaking and graphic design, which he studied in college, can be seen in many of his works.
Stu expresses his personal views of common, everyday life within God's creation through a variety of subjects: genres, portraiture, landscapes and still-lifes.
His works have been displayed at the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Show and sold in local galleries in the Twin Cities area.
About the Gallery
Located in Hopkins Minnesota, FM Trauts Gallery is a small showroom containing many works of Mr Fjellanger that have been collected throughout the years. It is named after the fictional 19th C. English artist Sir F.M. Trauts, who spent his days traveling the world painting exotic landscapes for the European bourgeoisie. But while on a safari in India he converted to Christianity while visiting a Protestant missionary. This experience moved him in creating more spiritual and esoteric subject matter which lasted for the rest of his life.
