Welcome to Cycling Salamander

The Cycling Salamander is a fine art gallery outside the city of Charlevoix, Michigan. Charlevoix is located on three lakes - Lake Michigan, Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix in the northern lower (peninsula) of Michigan. We feature works from over 40 selected Michigan artists. Come enjoy quality work in our casual Up-North setting and stroll our 3-acre sculpture walk among northern Michigan wildflowers and our annual cutting garden.

Kelly Wesner - My World


Artist Statement.

It is the quiet nature of Northern Michigan that inspires so many to leave their fast pace blues behind and head "up North" to find that sate of calm in which brings them back to their center. It is that state of calm that I'm continually challenged to capture. I observe seagulls examining their reflections and playfully soaring in the wind, horses grazing in their pastures, outdoor enthusiasts canoeing down the Jordan River early in the morning, and architectural landmarks that take me to another place in time.
