The "Walking Bear Series", depicting where conscious reality meets unconscious reality. For me the "Walking Bear Series" is all about our journey through life. Bears are solitary creatures, they make their journey alone. Ultimately we humans are on our own as well and our journey really is about our own personal choices and decisions. Bears are also mysterious and isn't that true about our lives, mystery everywhere we travel. As I have said in my artist statement, my work depicts one man's response to life experience. What it speaks to you, you will have to hear. And besides with the last name of Bear it was only a matter of time.
