There are days when Munsey and Boda are chillaxing in the winter sun, dreaming of the warmer spring and summer months that will bring the smell and tastes of fresh buds on the trees and little animals running around their habitat area and the refreshing water in their pool and their pond.
The winter in central Wisconsin provides Munsey and Boda a pond full of ice to excavate and Munsey case, it’s a supply of objects to toss into the air!
Boda is more interested in releasing his downed tree trunk, so he can move it around and show off his brute strength.
Munsey and Boda truly enjoy each other’s company and they are never separated from each other for more than 15 minutes. Of course, they are bears and they love to wrestle with each other. On Sunday, February 23rd, I documented the boys wrestling for about 45 minutes out of the 90 minutes I was charting their activities in the Bear Woods Habitat Exhibit.
After about 10 minutes of wrestling Munsey and Boda take a short time out to catch their breath before starting the next wrestling match. They aren’t growling or creating any loud vocal sounds directed at each other, usually just a lot of heavy breathing from the extensive physical activity.
Then it’s time to rest, roll and slide around in the snow and dig up more ice chunks to break apart or toss into the air. At this time Munsey is in the past 900 lbs. and Boda is over 1,000lbs.
Please join me at the Holiday Fair on December 7th 5:00pm -and 8th, 12:00 pm- at “The Art Garage” located 1400 Cedar Street, Green Bay Wisconsin! Look for me at table #8, there will be 22 vendors with handcrafted goods, a free make and take project stations, Door Prizes, complimentary food and beverages, and three FREE workshop gift certificate giveaways!
My artwork ranges from Intaglio Printmaking, collage, assemblages, acrylic poured paintings, paper sculptures, and photography.
Dance themed journals and cards are just a few items that can be purchased during the Holiday Art Fair.
My collages and assemblages range from bear and elephant-themed compositions to communication technology.
I love to play with a variety of materials when I’m creating artwork! If my original prints don’t live up to my expectations, I alter them into a totally new composition.
Sometimes an original print will sit in a drawer for a couple of years before I figure out what direction to follow. Every January through March I pull out all my misfit children and turn them into totally new compositions, usually collages / mixed media.
I believe that the artwork is waiting for me to develop my skills and that’s when the magic happens! It helps to have an open mind and the courage to destroy one piece of artwork to make exciting discoveries and push my boundaries!

I’ll also be selling a limited edition of my collection of Kodiak Bear books, greeting cards, lined journals, and coasters.
At this time I’m not set up to take credit cards but welcome cash and checks.
The Kodiak Bear Books offer photographs and information about the growth and development of Munsey and Boda!
I began documenting the Kodiak bear cubs through photography in October of 2015 at the Grand Opening of the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Exhibit. Since October 2015, I’ve taken thousands of photographs and have begun charting the growth and development of the bears using a graphing format. This information along with the photographs is used when I’m writing my blog and books and is also shared with the zoo staff at Wildwood Zoo.
A wide variety of merchandise has been created to showcase the growth and development of these two adorable rescued Kodiak bear cubs named Munsey and Boda.
Limited edition photographs, photographic books, drink coasters, calendars, journals and greeting cards, along with large charcoal drawings are just a few of the items created in the honor of the two rescued Kodiak bears.
Photography title “Stoned” along with limited edition greeting cards showcasing two Kodiak bear cubs playing with a beer keg is displayed on the shelves in the iMAGiNETHAT! Art Studio.

During the July Northwoods Art Tour, I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people that traveled from Chicago, Milwaukee, the Twin Cities and Canada!
I definitely couldn’t have successfully participated in this art tour without the help of my wonderful friend and my fantastic husband!
My goal is to create artwork that beckons to both the viewer’s eye and sense of touch.
I was honored to receive an award through the participation of the Range Art Association for my original hand pulled print titled “On The Rocks”.
During the Art Tour, I created and demonstrated the art of Intaglio Printmaking. I printed a series of small original hand pulled prints titled “Symphony of Leaves”. The series consists of about 20, 4″x 6″ prints, printed on Rives BFK paper.
