Greenland

It is inspiring and mesmerizing to witness the Ilulissat Icefjord. This UNESCO world Heritage site is located on the west coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle. The enormous glacial ice stream which comes from one of the fastest and most active glaciers in the world is quite a challenge to paint as there isn’t paper large enough! I had time to interpret the scene, paint and contemplate how climate change has an impact on Greenland. Unfortunately 2019 was a record year for the ice cap melting.

“It Is hard to express in words the beauty of nature’s sculpting forces and light that illuminates an iceberg’s journey.”
