Much of Thor Evenson's work centers around Kenai's fishing history, including "Snug Harbor" (center).

Thor Evenson has been commercial fishing with his family in Cook Inlet since they homesteaded in Kenai in the mid-1950s.

Even before than that, Evenson was an artist. And he often mixes those two parts of his life — from his boat designing to his large, colorful paintings chronicling the history of fishing in the inlet.

Evenson's work is on display at the Kenai Art Center this month. The exhibit is called The Sea and Other Roads Revisited and it is up until July 2.
