Acton Vale wetland

The original work Acton Vale Wetlands was created as part of the project Beauty and Mystery of Acton's Wetlands, completed in 2025. It is my interpretation of the large wetland complex in Acton Vale.

This place, which is dear to my heart, has been explored time and time again. Winter and summer alike, I have walked there and marveled at its flora and fauna. I have even raised colonies of bees there that have pollinated the flowers of its peat bogs. This ecosystem amazes us with its unique peat bog flora; it is teeming with plants rarely seen in the region. The four-toed salamander, a native amphibian that may be designated as threatened or vulnerable, hides in its moss. White-tailed deer and coyotes thrive in its woods. The peregrine falcon, for its part, flies over its lands in search of its next prey.

This work was created by hand with inks (acrylic and pigment) and acrylic on acid-free Bristol board in 2025. A fixative and UV-resistant varnish have been applied to the work.
