Photography & Art at the Rock: Featuring Jeff Benson

Photography & Art at the Rock, a monthly exhibit in the lobby of the Split Rock Lighthouse Visitor Center that showcases local artists, landscape and wildlife photographers of the area.

For the month of June our featured artist is Jeff Benson.

Artist Statement:
"I retired from Transportation Consulting in 2015. At that time, my wife and I relocated from the Twin Cities to Duluth since our two sons attended the University of Minnesota Duluth and settled in the area. We wanted to be closer to our kids and our now six grandchildren.

Since retiring, I’ve discovered a passion for acrylic painting, particularly capturing the beauty of Northern Minnesota. I’ve showcased my work at the annual Art in Bayfront Park in Duluth and had my paintings displayed at Duluth’s Lizzard Art Gallery. I am honored to have my art on display at the Split Rock Lighthouse during the month of June this year."

Benson’s show will run from June 1 - 30. He will be onsite:

June 14, Noon-4 pm
June 21, Noon-4 pm

Included in regular site admission.
