The Crooked Cross

The roof and steeple of St. Francis Xavier Church in Grand Marais, MN, which was part of a North East Minnesotan Ojibwe settlement from the 1880s-1930s. The perfectly symmetrical roofline is topped by one imperfect feature - a cross that tilts.

About Artist

Leslie Crane

I am an award-winning studio and on-location portrait photographer in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, with studio space in downtown Chaska, Minnesota. My style, which is inspired by my subjects, has been described as meaningful, emotive, uncluttered, natural, artistic, timeless, genuine, and heartfelt. A former opera singer and music teacher, I have also produced classical music programs for public radio stations, and homeschooled my two sons.
