Paintings and video inspired by a visit to the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary in northern British Columbia.

Watercolour impressions painted on location in Mt. Assiniboine provincial park. Record heat and smoke from nearby wildfires created some challenges for many in British Columbia. The intense heat and sudden thaw of snowpack however produced quite a display of wildflowers in some locations.

Video Highlight from a painting trip observing Grizzly bears in the Taku watershed of Northern British Columbia. Our bear viewing guides led us to locations that ensured our safety while respecting the wildlife’s habitat and foraging routines. This allowed us to work and witness the ancient life cycles and interrelationships of the salmon, bears, eagles and forest.
