High Arctic Journey

Canada and Greenland 2005

The following paintings were inspired by a high arctic journey to Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland. These spectacular and remote places are only accessible by a polar-class icebreaker in which I had the privilege of being awarded artist in residence aboard in September 2005. I look forward to posting new works from this trip very soon.

Many thanks to the wonderful fellow passengers, crew, staff and Quark Expeditions for making this Polar Arts Program a very rewarding experience.
