Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman. World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:
"The 'spirit bear,' with its white or creamy golden coat, is a subspecies of the black bear. According to native Tsimshian legend, the mythological Raven created the spirit bear as a living reminder of the glaciers that once covered the ancient homelands."
