Royal Trust Collection at Windsor Castle

“Polar Bear n.8”, watercolour, (14.5 x 20.5 inches)

I am thrilled to announce that my Arctic watercolour study, “Polar Bear n.8” (14.5 x 20.5 inches), has been accepted into the Royal Trust Collection of King Charles III at Windsor Castle. It is one of 25 pieces selected by a jury to complete the gift of 100 paintings from the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, celebrating the CSPWC's 100th anniversary.

“This curious bear 'emerged' on my paper after an inspiring encounter from the safety of our boat during a painting trip in the high Arctic, in northern Svalbard. Over the years, I've been fortunate to observe and sketch these magnificent animals as they silently appear and vanish beneath the water's surface, navigating through sea ice floes and iceberg remnants while hunting for seals. With decreasing sea ice coverage due to climate change, one wonders what fate awaits the polar bear.”

I look forward to sharing more details about this project and upcoming exhibitions of this selection in 2025.

A heartfelt thank you to the jurors for making such tough decisions, and congratulations to the other successful artists. Special thanks to the CSPWC for this incredible opportunity!
