The Canadian Wilderness Artist Residency was a unique and immersive artistic experience that took place on the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City. For three and a half weeks myself, nine other artists and two guides embarked on a canoeing odyssey in the Canadian north, exploring this territories’ natural and cultural histories and stories through the lens of art.
For 17 days we paddled the Yukon River, camping on its banks and creating the most incredible artistic experience; collecting much inspiration, building creative relationships, collaborating on many on-site projects and pieces, and learning the many lessons the River graciously had to share.
