"I can sense the heat of the sun. The angle of the log adds an amazing sense of drama
to the composition.  You’ve captured the mood of the tiger,  I can see it in the eye.  The
 best way to describe it is cold and detached ... and yet something is simmering just below
 the surface.  It wouldn’t take much to pounce."  Sharlene Stushnov-Lee artist, Victoria, B.C.

THE MOUNTAINEER and THE ARTIST
October 14th, 2006 - January 14th, 2007


Sharon Wood and Alice, May 25, 2006

Held at The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, in Banff, Alberta,
The Mountaineer and the Artist was an invitational exhibition which was a part of
The Alpine Club of Canada's Centennial celebrations.  Thirteen mountaineers
were paired with thirteen artists and together the pairs visited the mountaineer's
favourite place, after which the artist then interpreted the landscape.  It was a 
dynamically diverse show that has also been documented in an exquisite
catalogue as well as a DVD of interviews with the painters during their process.

I was paired with Canmore resident Sharon Wood who, in 1986, was first the
North American woman to summit Mount Everest.  She was also the first woman to
become a certified Canadian Alpine Guide.

which I ultimately gave to her for her 50th birthday, in May, 2007

Sharon selected The Grand Sentinel, at Sentinel Pass, near Lake Louise.  I chose
to create a painting within a painting to portray both the scale of the sentinel and
feature the closeness of the rock, as she would have seen it as she climbed it.
This also enabled me to feature the lichen with which she has a huge fascination.
