Artist Note: "I'm a born and raised British Columbian artist whose inspiration comes from the nature that surrounds us.  The black bear often visits me, they look so gentle and playful, you want to give them a big hug.  I was taught very early on to admire from a distance.  The forest is their home and we are just visitors."
