The Guide is an original oil painting capturing the quiet power of the Arctic night in Churchill, Manitoba, as lights dance on the sky and a lone polar bear follows a centuries old migration path.

The scene is inspired by the remarkable northern wilderness surrounding Hudson Bay, where vast skies and shifting light create moments that feel both immense and deeply still. The composition draws the eye from the glowing aurora overhead down through the icy landscape, settling on the solitary figure of the bear beneath the northern sky.

This piece celebrates the wild beauty of Canada’s far north and the unforgettable experience of witnessing the northern lights above the Arctic landscape.
