BRENT TOWNSEND (1962- ) Many collectors in America are proud owners of one of Brent Townsend's supremely detailed views of the North American wilderness. And almost every Canadian has a piece of Townsend art in their possession: Townsend's polar bear image is on Canada's two dollar coin, affectionately known as the toonie. Townsend was also both the first Canadian and the youngest person ever to be named Artist of the Year by the 1989 Western and Wildlife Art Exhibition. He was named the featured artist at the Vancouver International Wildlife Art Show and a participant of the World Wildlife Fund's Spirit of the Wild Show. He was also one of just five artists asked to exhibit with the Canadian Wildlife Art Exhibition in Osaka and Tokyo, Japan - pretty impressive for a man who considers himself essentially self-taught.
