Native Alaskan Watercolor Art Prints
Part of Alaska’s magic and mystery lies in its Native roots; a rich cultural heritage passed down through generations. Eskimo and Native traditions with the spirit of Alaska lives on today through the symbols and images that have been used for centuries to tell the stories of this culture. Dot Bardarson brings Alaskan history and culture to life with vibrant color, imagination, symbolism and meaning in each painting.
Native peoples used bears, puffins, ravens and other animals as symbols and protectors of their homes. Wonderfully carved and painted statues can still be seen today in historic locations across Alaska. These symbolic animals also correspond to ancient legends about the Alaskan mainland and the fabled history of Alaska.
Keep historic Alaska and these unique symbols alive through watercolor paintings. Order an Alaskan watercolor painting for your home or office and call or email to learn more about these unique paintings. Dot is always happy to speak personally to her customers and answer any questions they may have.
