The Matriarch depicts Grizzly 399, the iconic mother bear who roamed the Yellowstone and Grand Teton range for 28 years. Grizzly 399, affectionately known as Queen of the Tetons, was the oldest known reproducing bear in the region. Her story was one of resilience and maternal devotion. She was known and loved by many.
I was inspired to create this painting after Grizzly 399’s tragic death in October of 2024. This scene is how I like to picture her now: in the peaceful stillness of the early morning light, surrounded by her cubs.
Grizzly 399 continues to be remembered and cherished. She was an ambassador of her species, and her life and death inspired us to protect the wildlife of this region and preserve their fragile habitat. Her spirit and her legacy live on.
Limited edition, signed, titled, and numbered, all prints are high quality giclée recreations of the original oil painting, printed with archival quality ink on smooth texture hot press fine art paper, with a 1 inch border. Dimensions listed include the border.
11”x14” prints will arrive in a flat mailer, and all larger prints will arrive rolled in tubes. If multiple prints are ordered, they will be shipped together in one package.
