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.
