Ted Harrison
Ted Harrison came to the Yukon in the sixties with his wife Nicky and son Charles. Over a period of 25 years, Ted has taught art to countless numbers of Yukon students, and went on to become one of Canada’s foremost contemporary painters. Through Harrison’s distinct paintings, he has brought the splendor of the Yukon’s natural environment to national and international attention. Through his years in the Yukon, Ted spent considerable time at his cabin on Crag Lake, fishing, painting, and absorbing the landscape. In 1993, Ted and Nicky moved to Victoria, British Columbia, where Ted currently lives and works.
THARS is working to realize Ted’s dream of sharing Yukon experiences with other Canadian artists. The donation of his land and his ongoing support has made it a possibility for visual artists to have the solitude and inspiration that Ted found at his cabin on Crag Lake.
