Every time we here at The Arts Page meet an artist we learn something new, something valuable. What we learned from artist Autumn Lundberg is to not be afraid of opportunity. "Fortune favors the bold," she says.

Autumn is the artist in residence at Ascent MKE, commonly known as the "Timber Tower," because of its use of sustainably sourced timber in it's construction. There she uses the stunning 25th floor community room as her workshop and as a gallery for the larger pieces that she doesn't have room to store at her normal studio. At Ascent she gets to socialize with the diverse residents and be inspired by panoramic views of Milwaukee.

Autumn spent time on the West Coast working as a personal assistant to a musician. She learned how important it is to believe in your abilities and apply yourself. When fate opens a door, don't be afraid to step through. She did that when an opportunity presented itself for a job with the NFL. She didn't get that job but her attitude and confidence impressed them so much they created a position for her. 

She returned to Milwaukee with incredibly valuable experience in design and conceptualization. From life experiences big and small Autumn has created an art style that is unique to her and it wouldn't have happened without the fearlessness that is the foundation of her art.
