For Mother's Day 2009 my daughters and I drove to Golden, BC via Jasper & Banff and then onto Calgary, AB to photograph wolves and other wildlife. In Golden we walked with Mia, an alpha female from the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre. Casey, Mia's handler took us 9 kilometres off road where we were able to hike with this beautiful wolf for a couple of hours. Mia is not a pet. She is however tolerant of calm people who respect her space. She spent a lot of time in the bush enjoying her freedom, which gave us a chance to get some very natural photos. She'd also almost posed when coaxed with deer meat as a reward, so I was able to get some exceptionally close photos. Though I've photographed wolves in the wild, they never let me get too close. Between the Centre and a very natural zoo exhibit in Calgary I was able to get some excellent reference material for paintings, enabling me to observe wolves unique behaviours and capture very fine details.

Enroute to Babine Lake to photograph grizzlies in mid October, my husband Larry and I pulled into this lonely little lake off the beaten trail just before dark. This very peaceful isolated place, with an eagle flying over and a moose leaving the scene created this memorable moment that I captured on canvas.

McGregor Mountain Grizzlies was painted for Bob & Barbara Harkins, this magical place is in the mountains above Penny, east of Prince George where they grew up. A place Bob had many great adventures with his friends, including Clarence and brother, author Jack Boudreau. Jack's book "Grizzly Bear Mountain" shares many grizzly tales from this area, including a special tale of a rendezvous on the mountain to celebrate friendship, and share a forty-year-old bottle of wine saved for this occasion. Sadly, the painting wasn't completed before Bob passed away, but stands in his memory.

I photographed the grizzly sow and cub at Purden Lake, east of Prince George not far from home. I would like to extend a special thank you to Darwin for permission to paint his backdrop, Wilcox Pass seen in his book entitled Darwin Wiggett Photographs, Canada, Whitecap Books. Wilcox Pass over looks the Columbia Ice Fields between Jasper and Banff National Parks. I have photographed mountain goats and deer in this same area, and further west a sow grizzly and her two cubs, moose, elk, bighorn sheep, and spectacular scenery.
