This piece was selected for inclusion in the Minnesota Zoo's Hanifl Nature Center's inaugural art exhibit celebrating the opening of the Zoo's new TreeTop Trail and is available for viewing July 28 - December 31, 2023. I chose to depict a single view of Gunflint Pines within four seasonal quadrants.
