Lake Superior has long been a source of inspiration for artists living along its shores, from the Anishinabe storytellers who made their home on Madeline Island to the cabin-dwelling painters, kayaking photographers and deep-woods writers striving to capture the majesty of the world's largest body of fresh water.
So, as the specter of global warming threatens to degrade some of the lake's natural beauty, it's no wonder that artists are among the most adamant defenders of the ecosystem that has provided centuries of poems, paintings and stories.
