Artist: Jack McLean (1924 - 2003)
Born in Vancouver in 1924, McLean received his training at the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art + Design). He served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he continued to develop his skills as a painter and muralist. In 1942/43 he created his most ambitious work, a 60-foot-long, 10-foot-high mural depicting Canada from coast-to-coast, which he painted on the side of the Mess Hall at the then-new military airport in Tofino, B.C. [3]

McLean's biggest benefactor was Charles N. "Chunky" Woodward, of the Woodward's department store. Beginning in the early 1960s, Woodward invited McLean to spend time at his Douglas Lake Ranch near Merritt, B.C. It was the largest cattle ranch in Canada, with more than 500,000 acres of undisturbed land. [4]

Later in life, McLean moved to Driggs, Idaho. He had developed a much greater following in the United States than he had in Canada. The move also gave him the opportunity to pursue his other passion — skiing the Teton Mountains. McLean died in 2003, after a day of skiing the Tetons with friends. He returned to their home and passed away peacefully in his favourite chair later that day — a fitting exit for a man who loved the outdoors.' - Richard White, Galleries West Magazine (winter 2009).
