Story of the Painting from the Artist’s Point of View:

“At Rest, Beechey Island” (2017) depicts the warm glow of sunset on the beach where stand the graves of four members of the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition.

The 1845 Franklin Expedition gravesite on Beechey Island is one of the most vivid examples of the history of Arctic exploration by Europeans. I was there with Inuit outfitter Randy Nungaq and his son Sheldon, from Resolute. They watched for polar bears as I approached the graves, headstones bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. Despite my fascination with history, I found myself caught up in the present, amid the ethereal beauty of this sombre place.
