As a professional marketing copywriter and oil painter, Barb Casey is a little obsessed with expressing verbs and adjectives in paint.  She applies a similar creative process to both writing and painting:  analyze the subject, define the key message, edit extraneous information - and make the most important thing memorable.  She has lived in communities along the St. Croix River following a northward path from Bayport to Stillwater and now Marine on St. Croix.  Her art is featured at Smith+Trade in Stillwater.  https://bacaseyart.com/
