This exhibition, Walking the Shores, is a collection of acrylic and watercolor paintings capturing the animal, bird, and fish relatives that artist Sam Zimmerman has experienced along the North Shore of Lake Superior. His work features each as a means to honor them, the time he spent with them, and the teachings each provided to him. Each of the pieces have also inspired his writing as he works on his second bilingual (Ojibwemowin / English) art book with a publishing date of October 2026 by the MNHS press.
