The Travellers: Facing North

Rae Braden, "Ode to an Adventurous Lemming", embossed print, 11” x 18”

Braden's practice is described this way: Rae's work is about exploring her northern surroundings. Geology, ice, bones, birds and botany feature prominently in her pieces - often accompanied by layers of pattern and graphic elements inspired by the landscape of northern Canada.

The Travellers is a loosely knit group of landscape, environmental artists and writers from different provinces and territories in Western Canada ~ Alberta, BC, and the Northwest Territories. They are united by their desire to represent their specific landscape and environmental interests as emotional experiences. These artists connect the viewer with Northern Canada through diverse points of view and expressive art mediums.
