Mercer Artist Exhibited at Finlandia

HANCOCK - The Finlandia University Reflection Gallery will host the work of artist Terry Daulton November 3 to November 28, 2008.

Daulton's exhibit, "Boreal - Birch, Bog and Bedrock" expresses her love of boreal habitats and her desire to preserve them in the face of warming temperatures and expanding human habitats.

"Lake Superior's southernmost shore is the outpost for boreal species," Daulton writes in her artist's statement. "As our climate changes these habitats face threats from warming temperatures and changing moisture patterns.

"This exhibit is a celebration of the boreal, but also a call to action. Humans can make a difference for the species in the North Woods of Michigan and Wisconsin - if we choose to."

Terry Daulton is an artist, field biologist, and environmental educator. She developed the initial concepts for Paradise Lost? a 2006 exploration by 20 artists, seven scientists, and six educators to learn about climate change and express ways that art can increase public understanding about climate change in the North Woods.

Daulton worked in tandem with University of Wisconsin-Madison staff to create the show, organize its exhibition calendar, and implement its education components.

Daulton lives in Mercer, Wisc., where she works as a environmental consultant and artist. She has a masters of science. in environmental education from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

The Reflection Gallery is on the second level of the Finlandia University Jutila Center, 200 Michigan St., Hancock. For additional information, please call studio art associate professor Yueh-mei Cheng at 906-487-7375.
