About the artwork:

Let me share with you one of the memories from my sketchbook. Bear Boo is a grizzly refuge, who was rescued and lives in a resort in Golden, Canada. I don’t believe in happy stories about enclosed animals. However after spending my morning observing Boo, looking at his clean, shiny coat and hearing stories about him, it seemed to me, that he really loves being there. Otherwise, he wouldn’t come back from seasonal escapes to meet bear ladies, would he? In fact, rescued bears are often not capable to live in the wild. Apparently they did try to experiment with setting Boo free but he ended up choosing his luxury life with private pond and regular feeding times.

Since I was a kid, I loved to document my holiday memories in a sketchbook. While I do appreciate the photography, it’s the process of sketching that makes me remember the feeling of being in each place.
