This winter we welcomed five British Columbia-based artists for an inaugural artist residency series at Mica lodge. The concept behind the residency was to provide the chosen artists with an experience that would inspire a unique piece of art. The art would ultimately become a custom top sheet for a few limited edition pairs of Big Bend Skis (handcrafted locally in Revelstoke BC). Over the next few weeks we will be introducing you to our unique artist-friends and revealing the beautiful works that each of them created for the 2016 Topsheet Project. This week is Whistler-based muralist Kris Kupskay. Read on to find out more about Kris's fantastic work.
