Welcome to the official Ted Harrison website.

Ted Harrison has now become synonymous with the Yukon and when one thinks of one the other immediately comes to mind. He credits the vast and majestic beauty of the Yukon with the bold lines and unusual choice of colours that are so predominant in his art.

In a Harrison painting a lake may be orange, a moose blue, and a sky a rainbow of reds. His books begin as pictures in his mind, and the story is created around the image. He doesn't do preliminary sketches but prefers to draw the background first, then add colour, and eventually people, animals, and houses. Uncluttered and vibrantly coloured, Harrison's style is distinctive. Tiny creatures -- dogs, ravens, and people in colourful parkas -- are set against an overwhelming expanse of land, mountains, sea, and sky.

Considered one of Canada's most prominent artists, Ted Harrison moved to Victoria in 1993, where he now resides and works.
