WHITE RIVER Wall Art

White River is a very important river in Indiana. It is a watershed for over one-third of all the land in the state. In the very early days, it was a way for Indians to get food, expand their hunting areas, and carry goods (skins, pelts, hides, corn, fish, tools, etc.) for trade. It was utilized for transportation for early settlers heading west. The Lafayette Trace is a trail that runs alongside the White River for a long distance which was used by a great many settlers heading west across the country hundreds of years ago. Prior to before the twentieth century, White River provided great sport fishing for sportsmen like the Czar of Russia and Teddy Roosevelt who came from afar to Indiana to catch smallmouth bass and other game fish there. Later, White River was abused by industrialists and some businesses who dumped waste into the water which killed the living creatures and made the river unsuitable for recreational use. More recently, this beautiful river was brought back to life and now provides canoeing, fishing, sightseeing, and a great resource of beauty for artists like myself. My home and studio are just about 35 yards from the banks of this revitalized and beautiful living waterway.
