Warren Buffett once said, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” In that same spirit of environmental stewardship, we can enjoy Acadia National Park today because earlier generations chose to protect this remarkable habitat.

Long before Acadia became a national park, visitors came for its rugged coastline, deep forests, and sweeping ocean views. Artists and writers returned each summer, inspired by the dramatic light and expressive environmental landscapes. By the early 1900s, development pressures grew. In response, conservationists and generous supporters stepped in to preserve the land for future generations. Their commitment to habitat protection laid the foundation for the Acadia we know today.

Artists have always been a part of that effort. Through nature‑focused visual storytelling, they highlight Acadia’s beauty and strengthen environmental awareness. Their art encourages people to slow down and value the natural world. It reminds us that sustainability grows from attention and appreciation.

This collection features Maine artist Catherine Breer’s expressive interpretations of Acadia’s iconic landmarks. Her paintings capture the textures, colors, and rhythms of the landscape. Each piece invites you to reconnect with nature.

We invite you to explore this collection with intention. And perhaps, by bringing home a piece of Acadia, you’ll help spark conversations about sustainability, habitat protection, and care for our natural heritage.
