The Dora Keens : Acrylic
The Dora Keens : Acrylic
This is a 36" x 48" acrylic painting based off an area in the highest part of the Chugach Mountains. Located in southcentral Alaska at the back of College Fjord in the Prince William Sound is an area called the Dora Keens. If you don’t know who Dora Keen is… you should look her up . In 1911, she was the first women to climb a mountain in Alaska. In 1912, when she was forty, Dora Keen was the first person to climb the tallest mountain in the Wrangells, Mt Blackburn. Later she lead an expedition in this part of the Chugach now known as The Dora Keens. I used photographer Charlie Renfro’s gorgeous inspiring photo as a reference for this painting.
Through exploring, I've experienced a humbling feeling that overwhelms me every time I am immersed in the wilderness of Alaska. This incredible place creates a powerful feeling that inspires me so much it fuels my passion & drive for life. It’s an honor to be able to experience and recreate it.
If your a lover of sliding on snow, this ones for you.
