Animal imagery has always been central to my work as an illustrator. This image was one that emerged naturally from my recent late-night drawings and sketches. While I never set out to "draw a bear", I unconsciously gravitated to the subject matter and theme, I think, as an expression of love for a place I consider myself lucky to live in, especially as the world becomes more and more unrecognizable every day.
