My brother passed away in January 2004 .  He was a music professor at a small grade school in Vanderhoof, British Columbia.  He was much loved by his community and his family, and he is deeply missed.  

 

It is because of my brother and his child-like love of bears, that I began this endeavor.  He always encouraged me to put my skills and God given talent to work, and it is to him that I dedicate my efforts.  I miss my brother very much, and through my art, I hope to keep a part of him with me, always.
