In August 2016 I returned to the arctic and continued to work on the long term study and documentation of the arctic's incredibly beautiful yet fragile changing landscape. Also i am hoping to soon publish a book of arctic paintings and have some fine reference to work from and thus add to the large collection of studio paintings and plein-air works completed. A selection can be viewed in the arctic wonders galleries and its links .

Many thanks to One Ocean expeditions for navigating us through the arctic's waterways, and to view its wildlife. Always special to visit the wonderful folks that have lived on this land long before the age of exploration. History and stories are written and preserved across the tundra and beneath the surface of water and ice. It is my hope that i can bring a few of them to light on paper.
