| Bear Track Studios, located in Southeast Michigan, is comprised of three artists/craftswomen: Mixed media artist Lori Taylor; artist and photographer Marie Rust; and woodworker Lisa Ramlow. Founded in 2008, it was our love of nature and art that brought the three of us together. We are active within our local arts community and are members of the Brighton Art Guild. We also participate in many state and regional juried art festivals and have received many awards and accolades. The three of us have all had solo exhibitions in the area, and Lori has won art residencies at two Michigan parks, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the Porcupine Mountains State Wilderness Area. As nature/wildlife artists, environmental issues are important to us, and we are members of several organizations including The Nature Conservancy, Michigan Audubon and The Stewardship Network. Locally we volunteer our time doing work for the Michigan DNR’s Volunteer Stewardship program, which involves invasive species control and habitat restoration. Our artwork and our love of nature are intrinsically linked. We celebrate the beauty and diversity of the natural world through our original works of art, and by volunteering for and supporting environmental groups we give back to the source of our inspiration. We believe that through our work we can bring about a greater respect for the earth and all who share it. |
