Brian Jungen, a 53-year-old artist and retired rancher, has been showcasing his artwork internationally since 1998. He resides in northern British Columbia, Canada, in the traditional territory of the Dane-Zara Nation within Treaty 8. His life has been profoundly shaped by two significant fires. At age 7, he was orphaned after a tragic house fire on his family farm. Decades later, at age 51, a massive wildfire destroyed his ranch and studio. This event led him to become a volunteer firefighter, deeply influencing his outlook on life and his connection to his community.
