Canada Post stamp<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnd if you\u2019re looking for a little star power, famous Bow Valley residents such as The Boss grizzly bear and Delinda the wolf will be featured in the exhibit, as well as the wildlife featured on Roam transit bus wraps. If a public bus in the Bow Valley drove past you in the past year, then chances are high you\u2019ve seen Marriott\u2019s handy work showcased on the sides and rear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they go view my photographs and Susie\u2019s paintings, there\u2019s an emotional connection people can see in these animals, staring back at you, in these crisp, vivid photographs and these lovely paintings and art renderings,\u201d said Marriott.<\/p>\n
\u201cA little over half of [the exhibit photos] are Banff or Rocky Mountain images, and then there\u2019s six or seven that are from Great Bear Rainforest, Yukon, [and] certainly a few other places scattered about,\u201d Marriott said.<\/p>\n
Marriott noted that two portraits are split images, in which half of the faces of a grizzly bear and a lynx are print photos and the other half painted.<\/p>\n
It was a process that Marriott and Cipolla, who specializes in wildlife and landscape painting, took the most diligence to get right.<\/p>\n
While the majority of Marriott\u2019s photography these days focuses on conservation work, he is grateful to have captured stills of incredible wildlife in their natural environment over the past few decades.<\/p>\n
At the gallery, he thinks the exclusive photographs and unique artwork will speak for themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think people will go in and just have a real appreciation for nature and the wildlife that\u2019s around us here in Banff and Canmore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The exhibit\u2019s prints and artwork will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BANFF \u2013 When deciding which of John E.
