Beaver Island Art was founded with a passion for creativity and expression. You are invited to share in the adventure!
Barndance Studio & Gallery
Mary Acker, Artist
With years of experience in the industry, we have developed a deep understanding of art and design, and we have honed our skills to perfection. We know what works and what doesn't, and we're always up to date with the latest trends and technologies.
Beaver Island is a designated Dark Sky Sanctuary, allowing us the darkest skies east of the Mississippi River. Our place is right in the middle and the lights are out!
We take a collaborative approach to our work, working closely with our partners to create images that are tailored to their specific requirements. We're transparent, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire process.

October Sunset
A firey sunset appeared to me as I rounded Iron Ore Bay.

Starry Night at Beaver Head Lighthouse
A warm summer night called me for an all-nighter. Alone, I was mesmerized by the sky above me.

Whiskey Point Lighthouse with Aurora (a)
Oh what a night! The stars were bright and the Aurora was intensely active. This well-loved, Whiskey Point Lighthouse stood bathed in auroral shades of green and purple for all to see.

Northern Lights over Paradise Bay
All is quiet on the waterfront, bowing to the symphony of auroral majesty over my head. The ever-changing waves of green and red become personal as I know I may never see them again.

Feeding the Good Wolf
When I spend time outside, enjoying the night sky, I'm drawn away from less meaningful activities, and it steers my life in a better direction. The rewards are obvious.

Campground Theater
The curtains are drawn across the sky
with an intense auroral display. With no visual aids needed, this aurora activity was visible as it is seen here, even without a camera!
