On Wisconsin Waters

from $34.00

The boat glided across the waters of Lake Superior, its wake barely disturbing the turquoise and crystal-clear surface below. It was one of those rare days where the lake felt gentle, almost tender - a sharp contrast to the stories you hear of Superior's sudden storms and unforgiving power. But even in this calm, the rugged, weather-worn cliffs of the Apostle Islands reminded us of just how wild and ancient this inland sea really is.

As we cruised along the shorelines, the sea caves revealed themselves, carved into the rock like cathedral walls. The reddish-orange sandstone, sculpted by millennia of waves and ice, seemed to glow in the afternoon sun. We floated slowly past them, peering into the dark hollows, listening to the soft echo of water slapping stone.

Above those caves, though, was something quieter. A different kind of wilderness. Towering trees lined the island tops, and you could almost feel the presence of wildlife tucked away in the forest shadows. Unlike the mainland, where crowds and towns stretch along the coast, the islands felt untouched, like a hidden world preserved in time.

As we moved from island to island, I felt a deep pull not just to explore more, but to return. These waters, these rocks, these quiet forests... they whisper stories of solitude and strength. A corner of America few know, but one I’ll carry with me, and absolutely return to. The Apostle Islands aren’t just scenic. They’re a reminder that wild beauty still thrives, just out of sight.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
