KERRY LANE

Based in Grand Marais, Minnesota, along the storied edge of the Gunflint Trail, Kerry Lane is a visual artist, wilderness guide, and music composer whose work is rooted in the raw, untamed spirit of the Northwoods. His photography captures the stark beauty of northern Minnesota—where ancient forests meet cold starlight, and the aurora burns above frozen lakes like a quiet fire. From weathered tools to forgotten trails, his images echo a life shaped by the land.

Beyond the lens, Kerry is an accomplished composer, crafting soundscapes that rise and fall with the rhythms of wind, water, and wilderness. Each note and image invites the viewer deeper into a world where silence speaks, and the night still remembers. Set within one of only sixteen globally recognized Dark Sky Sanctuaries, his work is both a tribute and a call—to witness the enduring stories of this wild place and the people who belong to it.
