Artist Statement: My beaver design involves a vibrant motif that is instantly recognizable as Canadian- themaple leaf. Designed to be bright and eye-catching, this beaver is treated simply as a surface to cover in a universal symbol of national pride. Many of the maple leaves in this design reference the leaves of native maple species that can be found within Canada. Together, let’s celebrate Canada and enjoy The Great Beaver Quest!
