Michigan isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. And this puzzle captures it all!
Illustrated by Michigan artist Kirk Timmons, this richly detailed composition celebrates both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas in one beautifully “stacked” scene — a signature of Kirk’s folk-inspired style. From lighthouses standing tall along the Great Lakes, to cherries, Petoskey stones, wildlife, Mackinac Bridge, college pride, small towns, shoreline sunsets, and the industries that built the state — every section tells a story.
Kirk’s loose realism blends structure with expressive detail, layering ink, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and colored pencil to create a sense of place that feels nostalgic and alive. His work evokes time, memory, and Michigan pride — and this piece is no exception!
