Jacquard weaving,14x19.5" framed. This unique, intricate cotton fiber weaving was hand-made on a jacquard loom. This black and white art reflects the simple timelessness of the ROA Lighthouse. This quality emphasizes the contrast and texture of the fibers. Without color to distract,  eyes are drawn to the subtilties that may otherwise be missed. https://manitowishriverstudio.com/studio/ Sponsored by Carne Andrews.

Collage on wood panel, 6x6". Artist Statement: I wanted to feature the wildlife of Isle Royale so I chose a moose. It includes reflections of the beautiful fall foliage as well as the moose. The collage is made from painted paper. There are dictionary pages, maps, and mixed media paper all randomly painted to create a variety of colors and textures. Then each is cut or ripped into small shapes and added to the collage. The trunks of the birch trees are made with the text from encyclopedia pages!

Watercolor on watercolor paper, 11.25 x 9.25" framed. Artist Statement: We were on our own boat 'Island Song' and shared the dock at Windigo with 'Ranger III'. It is always a thrill to see the big boat come in with all the supplies and equipment to serve the needs of Isle Royale. I took photos of the event and then relived the experience painting the scene with watercolor.

Acrylic on cradled panel, 10 x 10". Artist Statement: I am a painter and muralist fascinated by the way science fiction suggests a future for humanity transformed by environmental changes and technological innovations. My invented landscapes ask viewers to consider unfamiliar places, such as the lines between true false, fiction and documentation, natural growth and urban development. I love color and texture. I paint wild animals, bright landscapes, and research equipment to create humorous tensions between humans and the rest of the natural world. www.adamswanson.com

Watercolor batik on rice paper, 11 x 11" in frame. Artist Statement: Though their berries are rather insipid in taste, the humble bunchberry plant is among my favorite Isle Royale flora. I love how it carpets the trails throughout much of the summer with a bold green whorl of six parallel-veined leaves, centered around 4 large, showy white bracts. Upon closer inspection, the four white bracts reveal the tiny, delicate flowers nestled at their center. In this painting, I aimed to capture the often-overlooked beauty of this remarkable member of the dogwood family.
