I am Vanessa C. Vander Weide.
Stylist, Animal Hoarder, Reluctant Debutante
Born and raised in Minneapolis, I can remember the glory days when Uptown was home to mow hawks and Doc Martens. Currently sandwiched nicely in between the Powderhorn and Nokomis neighborhoods, my house serves as an ongoing art experiment: objects glued to walls, graffiti in bathrooms, and random displays of murals … all wrapped around a tidy farm of animals running rampant. I can walk over there and be on the shores of the Mississippi. Or I can walk over here and be surrounded by urban beauty. Every time I think I know this city, I just have to jump on my bike (camera in hand) and I will discover a new block, a new neighborhood, a new view … a revolving rubik’s cube of creativity and color. This is Minneapolis. This is me. I am Minneapolis.
