About this artwork
The effect of global warming on the arctic ice fields is so dramatic that it is endangering the very existence of polar bears. They rely upon the integrity of the polar ice to provide the hunting grounds for seals that form a vital part of their diet. I have epitomised their dilemma in this painting where a mother and cub have fallen through thin ice and plunged into the sea.
