Inspired by my love of wildlife and the wonder of childhood, Wild Bear Spirit captures the quiet strength and gentle spirit of one of nature’s most beloved animals. This original 11" x 14" piece celebrates the beauty of the wild while inviting viewers to reconnect with a sense of curiosity, imagination, and joy.

A unique addition to my collection, this artwork features delicate gold foil woven throughout the bear’s fur, creating glimmers of light and texture that shift beautifully from every angle. This painting was created using a freer, more expressive brushstroke style than I typically use, allowing the movement of the water and the personality of the bear to emerge organically on the canvas. The result is a piece that feels both playful and deeply comforting.

Whether displayed in a child’s room or a cozy reading nook, it is meant to inspire wonder and remind us of seeing the world through childlike eyes.
