Old Shakopee Road. Using printmaking as her medium – primarily linocuts, lithographs, and monoprints – Corcoran’s images are informed by both her study and ob- servations of natural phenomena and the chal- lenges posed by her own actions and the actions of her species. In 2009 Corcoran re- ceived an M.F.A. in print- making from the Univer- sity of Minnesota. She is an elementary art teacher and runs a small print business with her hus- band. The gallery display is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 1-10 p.m. Sundays.
