Travis Novitsky, is a lifelong resident of the North Shore and a proud citizen of the Grand Portage Anishinaabe Nation. His exhibit, “Spirits Dancing,” showcases his stunning night sky photography, with images drawn from his acclaimed book of the same name, published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press.
Novitsky has been photographing the north shore for over 20 years and loves to combine photography with his other favorite activities of hiking, biking, and skiing. A self-taught photographer, his knowledge about photography has come primarily from reading books on the subject and from years of experimentation with the camera. He specializes in images of nature and wildlife, but his favorite subject is the night sky. He devotes countless hours to capturing images of moonlight, the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis. Novitsky will talk about his work at an artist reception June 7th 6 to 8PM. The Exhibit is currently installed at the Depot Museum and will run through June 30th.
