Artist  

I am a self taught artist and have been crafting, sewing and painting for 20 years. My best creations to date, however are my three fabulous kids. They are also my biggest fans and quality control department.

I created the first bear from my original design in 1996. The bears continue to evolve as do my techniques. I have recently added air brushing to enhance the features and create whimsical and soulful expressions.



The bears range in sizes from 23 to 4 inches and made from imported mohairs and alpacas. Each bear is fully jointed and stuffed with a variety of materials including, polyester, glass beads, steel shot and German growlers.

The bears and I have enjoyed our "ifteen minutes" and have won a few awards and been featured in a couple of magazines.

Bears across Canada is one of those magazines and entirely created, published sold in Canada. Click on the image to see the site.

Best regards,

Johanna
