Christine Belanger

Artist/Makers, Friends

An artist dedicated to protecting the natural world, with a particular focus on wolves.

Christine is a professional portrait artist for more than twenty years and has created many prominent inductee portraits for The Skate Canada Hall of Fame such as: Sandra Bezic, Jennifer Robinson, Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz, Tracy Wilson and Robert McCall, Jeffrey Buttle, and Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon.

Art has been a part of Christine’s life since early childhood. The fascination with drawing the human face began in her late teens. Although self-taught in portraiture, she studied the Visual Arts program at Heritage College in Gatineau.

Christine’s other art interests include photography and digital art. She is also a citizen scientist, a certified NestWatcher, and a climate/environmental/animal rights activist. She participated in the first and second Takaya Lone Wolf International Arts Festival. Takaya’s legacy has inspired Christine to continue painting wolves, wildlife, and the natural world.

Christine is donating 10% of art print sales from her web site.

The Healing Pear, an early `Friend of Pacific Wild, began donating a portion of sales all the way back in 2019. These amazing pieces are handcarved, with the intention that "you will find a unique piece that carries an energy perfect for you, that inspires you, and that acts as armour for the powerful and unique vessel that carries you."

Owner Trish O. takes inspiration from her former home in British Columbia, dramatic west coast of the Scottish Highlands on the Isle of Skye, and other wild and beautiful ecosystems from around the world.

You can support Pacific Wild by purchasing your next gift (even if it`s for yourself) from The Healing Pear. Ships from the UK.

B.C. author and filmmaker Cheryl Alexander - and longtime supporter of Pacific Wild`s #savebcwolves campaign - announced that Takaya`s coastal sea wolf story has found a place in history in a new UK book `The Wolf: Culture, Nature, Heritage.` The 178-page hardcover book consists of chapters exploring the wolf`s unique position in ecosystems around the world. Takaya`s story is the only Canadian wolf in the book

A new road name also recently showed up on the Port Renfrew loop out of Victoria. Takaya Rd. is right near Shirley, B.C.

Coastal sea wolves are common along the coastline in Sooke, Metchosin and further northwest. Keep your eyes peeled for Pacific Wild`s upcoming exploration of how sea wolves and interior wolves influence their environments later in August! 🐺
