David J. Eisenlord is in Residence this month at Sirius Arts Centre
"Growing up taking family camping vacations to the shores of Lake Michigan and Huron, and later as an engineering student in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, the power and beauty of the Great Lakes made a profound impression on me. The Great Lakes are my Big Sky country, a place for solitude and contemplation of ones smallness. I'm drawn in particular to the landscapes of the northern shore of Lake Superior and similar areas such Iceland and the coast of Maine. " David Eisenlord
