THE FOLLOWING IS A VERMILION COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT RELEASE
Danville, IL – The Vermilion County Conservation District is pleased to host the artwork of Mike Camp at the Kennekuk Education Center, Kennekuk County Park. Through Mike‘s work, visitors will journey through the open plains, prairies, and farm life of America, as well as the savannahs of Africa.
Mike Camp is a life-long resident of Vermilion County, growing up on a farm on the banks of the Middle Fork River. An outdoorsman by both inclination and the necessities of farm work, he has spent his life focused on the natural world. He started painting with acrylics three years ago after a chance meeting with Lori Learnard, former art instructor from Oakwood High School. With her able assistance and friendship, he has really learned to enjoy painting.
Mike paints what he knows: horses, cattle, wildlife, and landscapes, especially prairies and the Great Plains. Most of his paintings are inspired by personal experiences. A collection of Mike‘s work is currently on display at the Kennekuk Education Center with an Open House scheduled for June 18, 2026, from 5 – 7pm. This open house is open to the public with Mike available for comments and questions about his work. Other viewing times are available by appointment by calling 217-442-1691.
Kennekuk County Park is located at 22296 Henning Road, Danville, IL 61834.
