South Dakota The Beautiful
A showcase of fine art photography and pottery illustrating South Dakota's unique earthly beauty. Featuring artists Paul Schiller, Gerry Punt and Julie Punt.
South Dakota The Beautiful is a show designed by nature photographer Paul Schiller to dispel the myth that South Dakota is dull, flat and boring. You can't travel South Dakota and not be amazed by the simple and majestic beauty that abounds throughout this great state. This show endeavors to give viewers new perspectives on this wondrous state.
Gerry and Julie Punt's creations in pottery add real dimension to the show, illustrating the colors, shapes and textures of this land we call South Dakota.
