Sean Yoro in the Arctic doing his thing.
BAFFIN ISLAND, Nunavut - In 2015 we introduced you to Hawaiian artist and muralist Sean Yoro (a.k.a. HULA). Sean’s works of art take unique to another level and are truly extraordinary. In much of his work, Sean uses his paddle board to paddle to locations where he paints stunning portrait murals on unique landscapes, everything from half-sunken ships to abandoned docks and more.
Recently, Sean traveled to the arctic waters of Baffin Island, Nunavut, to paint a portrait of a local Inuit woman on the sea ice. This is the most technical and remote location that Sean has ever attempted a mural, and the wild forces of nature at the top of the world are unpredictable. But for Sean, the physical and creative risks are worth it for a chance at something new.

*Disclaimer : Sean's art on ice is always intended to be an impermanent installation and removed nearly as soon as it's finished. He uses environmentally friendly, non-toxic oil paints.
