The Boulder Junction Public Library welcomes the public to view their August Art in the Library exhibit featuring underwater photographer, Jim Arnold. Meet Jim and view his work at an Artist’s Reception to be held on Thursday, August 14. From 6:30-7pm, tour the art in the library. Then at 7pm, gather in the meeting room for a presentation. Take a deep dive—photographically —into the hidden world beneath the surface of northern Wisconsin’s lakes. You’ll explore the fascinating life forms that inhabit our local waters, from delicate aquatic plants to elusive amphibians, freshwater mussels, sponges, bryozoans, and fish. Guided by Jim, you will gain an appreciation for the complex ecosystems thriving just below our lakes’ surface.
Jim Arnold grew up on the shores of Blue Lake in northern Wisconsin fantasizing he was an 8-year-old Jacques Cousteau with his $9.99 dime store mask, snorkel and fins. Using his love of photography and a passion for nature, he tells the story of what is below the surface of our lakes from its beauty and diversity of life that goes unnoticed and underappreciated.
Jim is former artist-in-residence at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Trout Lake Station and his photography has been featured in Lake Superior Magazine, Wisconsin Natural Resources Magazine, and numerous galleries across the country, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Wausau, the Northern National Art Competition in Rhinelander, Praxis Gallery Minneapolis Minnesota, and at The Nat Photo Society.
