I would hope that in presenting the art created as a result of the Arctic Quest 06 trip that we would increase awareness of the Arctic and encourage people to be more receptive to the warnings being sounded about the impact of our collective actions on our environment. Especially the way we are influencing the escalation of global warming and its impact on that region of the world.

Much as the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Des Groseilliers in my painting is leading our group into Resolute, so it is that the scientists who are raising the alarm about global warming are trying to lead us on a safe passage to a secure future.
