Butterflies of Maasto Hiihto at Copper Country Associated Artists
April showers bring May flowers -- and, when the flowers are out, the butterflies will come. The Copper Country is summer home to many species of butterflies, and some even live here year round. Miriam Pickens of the Copper Country Associated Artists (CCAA) is an avid collector of butterflies. Armed with a camera, she has taken photos of around 35 different types that live in West Hancock near the Maasto Hiihto trails.
From 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on First Friday, April 5, at CCAA, Pickens will present a slide show and will discuss the identification and behavior of these butterflies, plus the techniques she uses to photograph them. The talk will be free and open to the public. Photos, cards and pottery with images of the critters will be available for purchase. The gallery will be open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The CCAA is located at 205 Fifth Street in Calumet.

Whose artwork is pictured here and what technique was used?
Not sure which exhibit you are asking about. We did include names of artists. Did you attend the exhibits Friday night? If not they will be up through April.
The stop sign image. I can't read the caption and I am, sadly, away from the Copper Country right now.
That is by Tom Rudd and Margo McCafferty. You can read about their print technique in our 2010 article,
