Svalbard and the "Ice Bear"

This past summer, I had the great opportunity to join One Ocean Expeditions in Svalbard for their Photo symposium and an “Art in the Arctic” program.  Along with  the accomplished UK artist Bruce Pearson, we organized art workshops and engaged with our fellow passengers, painting on the ship's outer decks and even during our Zodiac excursions. 

 We had some fantastic polar bear, walrus and bird encounters while onboard the Russian vessel Akademik Vavilov. More paintings from Svalbard and other dynamic locations in the arctic  are posted on my the Arctic page. 

 

Enjoy the following video of highlights from our voyage.
