This painting, a scene familiar to anyone who lives in a Fargo-Moorhead neighborhood, was done entirely with a painting knife. Rastegar, a native of Iran currently pursuing her M.F.A. in painting at the University of North Dakota, shows a fascination with color and shadows on the snow that speaks to anyone looking to find a bit of beauty in winter.
