Grizzly SeasonsGrizzly Seasons is a stunning array of photographs of these captivating and elusive creatures. Central to their project are three bear cubs – Chico, Biscuit and Rosie – who are rescued by Russell and Enns from a squalid Russian zoo. We also meet other wild grizzlies face-to-face, who over the years have come to embrace the couple’s presence. The bears thrive in a landscape of volcanoes and vast spaces, of salmon-rich waters and deep forest. The breathtaking images of Grizzly Seasons indelibly capture the essence of these majestic and playful creatures in harmony with nature.

Grizzly KingdomGrizzly Kingdom is a story of Maureen’s struggle to find bears in the wild, and to reveal on canvas and film this majestic symbol of a fragile wilderness.
When Canadian artist Maureen Enns set out to focus public attention on the grizzly bear she had no idea she would be embarking on a personal odyssey. Soon she was venturing into the remote backcountry of Alberta’s Banff National Park. Terrified at first, she discovered that these powerful animals were intelligent, caring, playful |
Grizzly HeartGrizzly Heart is the remarkable account of how Russell and Enns have defied the preconceptions of wildlife officials and the general public by living unthreatened – and respected – among the grizzlies of Kamchatka. At the core of the story is the couple’s adoption of three bear cubs left orphaned when their mother was killed by a hunter, and how they helped teach these cubs to survive in the wild. Their project demonstrates that it is possible to forge a respectful relationship with these majestic giants, and provide compelling reasons for altering our ideas about bears.
