"Celebrating the North Cascades Grizzly Bear" - Acrylic on Wood, 2024. This piece was made in partnership with Downtown Bellingham and hung in "Gallery Alley" for the month of August. I was inspired by the recent finalization of the National Park Service and US Fish and Wildlife's plan to reintroduce the grizzly bears back into the North Cascades. Grizzly bears once occupied the North Cascades region and were a key part of the ecosystem. Their populations declined primarily due to direct killing by humans. Perched on the head of the grizzly bear is a crown of Nootka roses, which are also a native species in the area, as well as the rose hips being a food source for the bears.
