From the Artist:
Like so many fellow Alaskans, I am driven by the pursuit of exploring the wild places of Alaska. There are so many intriguing issues at play in these wild areas; the politics of society vs. nature, the balance between experiencing and preserving a place, the many meanings of "wilderness" as seen through scientific, personal, moral, legal, and political lenses... if we are lucky enough to be able to stop and take a moment to just look, we tend to be instantly humbled by the sheer awesomeness of the place. All at once, it makes us feel immense and small, complicated and simple, chaotic and complete, independent and yet intricately connected. Painting in these wild places is a way to sit in that moment.
These paintings are from a river trip on the Attigun and Sagavanirktok in 2013. "Sagavanirktok I" was featured at this year's fundraiser for the Northern Alaska Environmental Center. Prints will directly support NAEC's mission to promote "conservation of the environment and sustainable resource stewardship in Interior and Arctic Alaska through education and advocacy."
