From “Keeping an Eye on History” at the OSH 2018 Woods Walk Teresa O’Brien oil pastel on paper, ca. 2003 the story | One of the Saugatuck Area’s most valued natural assets is the 1,000 acres of protected wooded dunelands of Saugatuck Dunes State Park in Laketown Township north of Saugatuck. Criss-crossed by 14 miles of hiking trails that open out onto an uninterrupted 2.5-mile stretch of pristine Lake Michigan shoreline, the park provides visitors with a splendid retreat from daily urban life. O’Brien invites us to bring a bit of this bucolic reverie indoors. the artist | Teresa O’Brien is a Saugatuck artist who brings Saugatuck to life with vibrant colors and textures. She developed a love for creating art from her grandfather, a painter as well. In her art, O’Brien aims to create a sense of movement, healing, grounding, and joy in nature.
