The arctic has made its way to Arizona this month, but only in brilliant artistic form as Cory Trépanier’s “Into the Arctic” recently opened at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
As it tours across the United States to eight museums in the coming years, “Into the Arctic” — an incredible body of 50 oil paintings of the Candian Arctic, executed en plein air and in studio by painter Cory Trépanier —opened on June 10 at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona.

The paintings were created over four extensive expeditions into the Canadian Arctic, and the centerpiece of the exhibition is a grand, 15-foot-wide picture of Great Glacier. The brilliant, chilling views will undoubtedly bring a breath of cool air to the hot desert sands.
