If there ever was an art piece that so accurately captures the way I do art, it is this one. It began when I was double checking some of Alaska’s state symbols, and I noticed something I had not before. Our state marine mammal is a bowhead whale.

I looked up an image of these whales, and this magnificent creature instantly became one of my favorite animals. I began researching the lives these cold dwelling whales live, and was inspired to do an art piece of it.

So I took all that I had learned about this whale and began weaving together its story…

A story of overcoming odds as it lives its entire life int he cold northern seas, forcing open sheets of ice with its huge head just to get a breath of air.

A story of blood, as hunters came to harvest its flesh and utilize its bones, and as orcas constantly trying to steal their calves. 

A story of ancients, their life spans being long enough to be considered the one of longest living mammals to currently move upon this earth.

All this and more I took, and wove together into its designs, the entire piece causing me to marvel at God’s wonderful creation. With every pen stroke I became more firm in my belief that this whale is an excellent symbol for Alaska.
