Regional Artists Explore Leelanau Peninsula Shoreline
Regionally-recognized artists Ken Scott and Kaye Kraphohl showcase their unique perspectives of the Leelanau County Lake Michigan shoreline in Leelanau Trek: One Shoreline, Two Visions.
Photographer Ken Scott and painter Kaye Kraphohl shared a curiosity about the shoreline, so they decided to trek the 100 miles, capturing Northern Michigan scenes and objects during their 18-month journey. They appreciated the natural beauty in every season, the various wildlife habitats and the as they navigated the sometimes dangerous and often undiscovered landscape.
This newest book from the Leelanau Press features numerous photographs, drawings and the artists’ comments about their work. The book introduces Leelanau to the reader and then allows them to follow along with the trek as they turn each page.
Leelanau Trek: One Shoreline, Two Visions was underwritten by Burma and John Powell, Dan Penning and Traverse City State Bank. It is available at bookstores and galleries for $39.95. Contact the publisher at (231) 334-4395 or visit Leelanaupress.com to learn more.
