About the Artwork

Misty Road is part of artist Robert Demar's series of black and white photographs called "American Camp Impressions." Images from this series were taken at the American Camp National Park on San Juan Island in Puget Sound. The series depicts seasonal changes in the landscape. Demar notes, "it is my hope that my intimate encounter with this small piece of nearly unspoiled nature will provide the viewer an opportunity for some peaceful contemplation."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Kahlotus School District.
