For over 40 years, James Robb has brought the Yukon's unique past to life in his sketches, watercolour paintings and photography. Finding inspiration in such places as Dawson City, remote areas of the Klondike and Whitehorse's Whiskey Flats, he has captured the territory's history through his depictions of buildings, events and pioneer characters. This prolific artist has been widely featured in books, magazines and newspapers and has supported the local cultural and artistic community. He has also donated works to several charities and organizations over the years.
