Minnesota-based illustrator, graphic designer, print maker and muralist Adam Turman has turned his eye once again to Winona and recently released his “Winona Classics 2.0” works for local and online purchase.
Turman collaborated with the Minnesota Marine Art Museum for an exhibit called “Minnesota Illustrated: The Prints of Adam Turman” in late 2016 through mid-2017 where two Winona designs first debuted: “Mighty Mississippi” and “Sugarloaf.” Original prints of these works are available for purchase in the museum’s retail store. Along with the exhibition and retail additions, Turman created a custom-designed mural within MMAM which is a part of the museum’s permanent collection.
The artist’s colorful and popular artworks depict his love for bikes, bands, beer, buildings, bridges, boats, and more. His Winona pieces include iconic local imagery like our boathouse community, Mississippi River bridge, Lake Winona and, of course, Sugar Loaf. Ever-evolving as an artist, Turman was eager to offer these exclusive designs for sale, but updated the pieces to add “a little more nature, more outdoor fun, and a pop of color—it’s what I do best!,” according to a recent Turman e-newsletter featuring the Winona illustrations.
Screenprints are available on Turman’s website, adamturman.com, and can be purchased locally at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and the Winona Visitor Center. Additional new merchandise, including postcards, t-shirts and pint glasses are and will soon be available at MMAM and the Visitor Center, as well as the Winona County History Center Gift Shop.
