David McEown
Canadian artist David McEown has used the medium of watercolour for the past twenty-five years to explore and express many of the Earth’s disappearing wilderness areas. His paintings—from Antarctica to the North Pole—are represented in collections worldwide.
David is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design and is an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, which in 2005 awarded him the society’s prestigious A.J. Casson Medal. He is a sought-after teacher and has conducted workshops and multimedia presentations for numerous art societies and museums sharing his reverence for nature and passion for the creative act of painting. When not sketching penguins down south or filming grizzly bears in Alaska, David can be found painting among the lush mosses of Pacific Spirit Park alongside his home in Vancouver, BC.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
