The original ‘Mooseness’ by Susan Pominville and my limited-edition print (number 1 of 17 and signed by Susan Pominville)! She did such an amazing job capturing so many aspects of the magic, the Mooseness, of North Star Reach! I cannot wait to get my print framed and hung up at home and to hang the original in the NSR Dining Hall! PS - we still have some limited-edition and open-edition prints available and all proceeds benefit the work we are doing to serve children with serious health challenges and their families, free of charge, thanks to the power of philanthropy: https://bit.ly/NSRArtStore
