Alaska Pipeline Canvas Print

During a recent trip to Alaska, I was able to photograph a portion of the Alaska pipeline. The trans-Alaska oil pipeline is an 800 mile (1,288 km) long structure that crosses 34 major rivers and three mountain ranges in some of the most remote wilderness on earth. This is the longest oil pipeline in the world today. It starts in Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean, travels both underground and above ground, to the year-around, ice-free port of Valdez. Operational since 1977, this extraordinary engineering feat is constructed to withstand earthquakes, which are frequent, permafrost changes and caribou migrations.

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and purpose. My mother painted when i was young and encouraged drawing and painting and handcrafting in all forms and my father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result, i have been a lifelong student of both mediums. Formal training of my eye and technique has been with the wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson. i hope you will enjoy these images as much as i enjoyed their creation.
