ANM-16: Gray Wolf

Habitat: Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Northern Minnesota, & Wisconsin. Gray Wolf can fun 35 mph and jump 12 feet high. This predator I see roaming in my back yard on occasion.

BRN-15: Country Farm

My Pen & Ink Country Farm was chosen to hang in the William Bonifas Art Studio October through December. It was quite an honor for me to have my first submitted drawing accepted

BRN-40: NN Road

The traditional barn nestled in a field. I especially enjoyed drawing this barn because the barn means so much to my client. She totally loves her barns.

DRW-32: Nature's Wonder

Botanical name for these flowers, Lilium Martagon. Common name, Wild Lily. These beautiful flowers bloom in late spring. A friend of mine sent me a photo he had taken of this amazing flower speckled with butterflies.

ESC-67: Great White Castle of the North

Classic, elegant is how I would describe this beautiful Victorian Castle. It's glass walled exterior elevator and medieval looking cupolas dominate the light filled waterfront scene at the foot of Ludington Street. In the evenings, the lounge would resonate with sounds of music from performing musicians that, I too, was a part of.

FAY-01: Smelting Furnace

Fayette Smelting Furnace.. . as a child many days remembered in Fayette Harbor. As an artist, I've tried to compile some of those thoughts to paper, recaptured memories, and hope my drawings do the same for you.

FAY-17: Window View

Stone edges peering through a distorted pane. The windows at Fayette State Park pose a picturesque view of the bluff where I spent many years as a young girl climbing to the top!

FAY-19: St. Peter's

FAY-48: Fayette View

Blessing of the fleet and my trips to Fayette State Park. I still visualize how it was during the family gatherings of that day. Priests from St. Peter the Fisherman Parish would march in procession from the church to the bay for the ceremony. Boats came from miles along the shore of northern Lake Michigan, the harbors in the Lower Peninsula, and even from Lake Superior for a blessing after the memorial service. The chosen "Queen of the Fleet" would then toss flowers on the water for the men who died on the Great Lakes

GAR-03: Main Street Memories

Many memories are encapsulated in these walls. As an artist, I have attempted to keep these buildings alive, however, if only in our minds. In 2007 these buildings were torn down. The town of Garden is now trying to raise money to incorporate a Veterans Memorial Park.

GUL-5: "Sis-Shwa"

Do you believe in a Ghost? The tales of Joseph Willie Townsend abound through this truly magnificent "1895" brick Seul Choix Lighthouse on the shores of Lake Michigan at Gulliver.

MAN-34: East Breakwater Light

Manistique, MI

MAN-36: Water Tower

Whenever you're driving through Manistique, Michigan you can't miss the prestigious water tower that is now being used as a summer information center. The renovated building is providing space for ars related public events and public rest room facilities, while preserving one of Manistique's unique and historic buildings.

MUN-62: Chapel Rock

Headed east from Grand Portal Point, you come to the very unique rock formations known as Chapel Rock. This drawing on a wedding card or anniversary card would become a keepsake for many years.

PEO-69: Birch Bark Wigwams

The Indian Village provides a link to our past. Native American people who lived many years ago lived during the era of earth lodges and teepees along the river banks.

 

PEO-71: Silo Four

Farming Country in Upper Michigan supports many horizon views. Family farming and gathering around the picnic table is becoming a thing of the past. Through my drawings, I've captured the essences of a time gone by.

PEO-80: Medicine Man Headdress

* The images you purchase will not have the word "Copyright" written on them.

 Who I Am

Hello!
My name is Tana Leckson. I reside in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I am a self-taught artist born of Native American Chippewa Indian descent, and raised a fisherman's daughter. I fell in love with a multiplicity of arts, ranging from drawing and wood crafting, to playing guitar. My Pen and Ink has become a truly enjoyable experience.

My drawings have served as keepsakes of ancestral homes, historical architecture, barns, and even main street memories. Whatever purpose they serve for the client, they have become a source of pride for me, I also spent my time this past year overseeing the Garden Gallery. I have had the rewarding opportunity displaying many talented artists work as well as gaining many new friends. Life is good!
