Summary

The May 2008 Beaver Beacon profiled Gerry Post’s Island-themed wall mural, created around a stuffed-beaver lodge and a ceramic “Wall of Fish” in a Beaver Island home. Post worked on it for eleven days in the previous fall and finished it in spring; some of his paintings were also planned for the Historical Society’s July art show.

This is a published arts profile, not a commission contract, conservation assessment, exhibition catalogue, or complete record of Post’s work.
