Michon Weeks has taught drawing and painting at St. Olaf College since 2012. She received her BA from Iowa State University and her MFA from the University of Minnesota.

Working primarily in egg tempera, oil, and acrylic, Weeks creates paintings and drawings that explore contemplation, perception, memory, ecology, and the spiritual dimensions of the everyday landscape. Her recent work focuses on what she describes as “mystic topographies”—the quiet terrain of daily life transformed through sustained attention and layered material processes.

Recent solo exhibitions include Route at Craig Krull Gallery (2025), Between Dreams at Schaefer Gallery (2024), and Crossing the Visible at Carnegie Art Center (2024). Her work has also appeared in exhibitions at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, Plains Art Museum, Rochester Art Center, and Soo Visual Arts Center. Weeks was featured in New American Paintings (Issue 173, 2025), where her work was selected as the juror’s pick by curator Rosario Guiraldes. She has received grants and fellowships from the Minnesota State Arts Board, the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, and the Creative Arts Collective.
