The Knowable Mystery

Landscape the Knowable Mystery was a year-long painting project undertaken in 2014 by artist Joel Sheesley. It culminated in 2015 with an extensive community exhibition organized as a collaborative cultural art partnership and presentation by Sheesley, between Wheaton College and the Wheaton Park District. The exhibition emphasized the immeasurable beauty of Lincoln Marsh, and included scientific, as well as artistic responses to the Marsh. Drawing attention to Lincoln Marsh, Landscape the Knowable Mystery heralds Wheaton’s remarkable 150 acre natural area.
