Jay Bigam, Turbulent Skies Artist
Jay Bigam’s artistic work is inspired by landscapes, sky, water, ice, and especially of his home, Alberta. In 2017, Jay worked with 6 storm chaser photographers and accompanied each of them on a chase. Post chase, they chose a photograph that was iconic of that chase. He then began to interpret each of these photographs on a large canvas.
