Celebration of Polar Bears Through Art

Although polar bears are solitary animals, when there is a group of them, it is known as a celebration of polar bears. Can you think of a better word to describe a gathering of these magnificent arctic animals?!

Now that the summer is over, I am back to celebrating polar bears through my oil paintings. Hot off the easel, is my version of a “celebration” of polar bears, a series of 6″ x 12″ polar bear portrait oil paintings on canvas. Although I recently made my first incredible journey to the Arctic (Cape Dorset & Iqaluit, Nunavut), my polar bear models are the male bear Inukshuk, and twin sisters Nikita and Aurora of the Toronto Zoo.

Each painting is a tribute to these intelligent, mighty arctic mammals. There is no question each bear has a distinct personality. These portraits give a nod to their beauty, fuzziness, playfulness (goofy even?), but one should never forget their awesome teeth and powerful claws are ever present.
