My first month back in Alaska: painting plein air, discovering the history of northern dogs, and exploring how wolves and northern dogs feed my imagination. I’m also offering the original “Into The Wilderness” and sharing my first YouTube video in case you’ve missed it.

A look inside the making of Into the Wilderness, from the first pages of sled dog sketches to the finished painting, and the journey that followed. As one painting came to life, I was packing for the long road North, back to Alaska and the wild country that continues to inspire my work.

Growing up in France, years painting wolves out west, and the pull North that never really let go. This Fall, I’m moving back to Alaska - my real muse - to live inside the world that inspires my work. Here is the whole story.
