"Bears seem strangely at peace as they effortlessly fish with their paws to enjoy a fresh snack of salmon.

This one-of-a-kind wood burning-on-fungus piece was created with my brother Dennis in mind. One of his first jobs was running the tractor at the local garbage dump here in Ucluelet, where the bears roamed freely and were not intimidated by his presence. He would tell many stories of bear antics as he went about his business and they went about theirs." - Kelly Carter
