THE ART OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN
The Art of Lake Champlain will present the lake and its environs through the work of fifty visual artists, and includes more than sixty original and stirring works that offer diverse responses to the lake as creative inspiration and muse. Cover work is by Cheryl Appe, an artist living in Charlotte, Vermont.
This richly illustrated book will be a clarion call for the appreciation, and a plea for the preservation, of the lake and the lands that surround it, and for the singular importance of Lake Champlain as the defining element of our Northern landscape. This book is published in conjunction with the quardri-centennial celebration of the discovery of the lake by Samuel de Champlain.
To further illuminate and understand the powerful allure of the lake as source of inspiration, poet Daniel Lusk will provide several original, evocative poems that speak to the primordial beauty, mystery and haunting melodies of the lake.
This special edition of The Art of Lake Champlain is published by Verve Publications and will be produced in a luxury hard cover edition.
This book is certain to be a perennial favorite throughout the local region and beyond, sought after year after year as a wonderful memento of the enthralling majesty of Lake Champlain.
