“Painted” Turtle
Where water meets stone, imagination takes shape.
Along the shores of Lake Michigan, it’s common to see people walking with their eyes to the ground. Not in sadness, but in quiet search of the Petoskey stone—Michigan’s fossilized treasure, shaped by ancient coral and time.
 
The painted turtle carries that same story in its shell. In this piece, its familiar pattern transforms into the fossil rosette of the Petoskey stone, blending wildlife with the geology that defines the lakeshore. It’s a small reminder that the natural world often hides its most remarkable details in plain sight.
 
Part of the Petoskey Stone Series, a collection that reimagines native wildlife through the patterns of Michigan’s most recognizable stone. Each piece reflects the connection between land, water, and the creatures that call it home.
