Travel, photography and art intersect
A recent trip to visit the famous Brooks Falls brown bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska inspired me to create this website. After going through my thousands of photos, I realized how much these amazing creatures encouraged my creative side. I know there are many people all around the world that share the same love and affection I have for these bears, and my hope is that these prints and art pieces will also bring a smile to your face. A portion of each sale, available through my Betsy Bear Creative Etsy Shop, will be donated to the Katmai Conservancy, in order to help preserve a very special place.
Thank you for visiting and helping to support this endeavor.
Prints
Who doesn't need a print of bear 480 Otis in the office for their own office? These high-quality professionally printed 8"x10" photographs feature the amazing brown bears of Alaska's National Park along Brooks River from trips in 2021 and 2022.
Coasters
Start the day off right, enjoying your morning coffee (or beverage of your choice) using these handmade 4"x4" coasters. A resin coating provides a shiny and almost glass-like surface while the cork backing protects your furniture.
Other Arts & Crafts
Homemade arts and crafts inspired by the bears such as mixed media resin wall art, Christmas ornaments, and needle-felted "pocket bears". Check out prototypes of possible future projects and send me a message if you are interested.
