Artist in Residence – Karin Edwards

Karin Edwards grew up partly in the beautiful landscape of British Columbia and partly in the open sky of Saskatoon SK.  She loves family, horses, gardening and being outdoors.  Creativity started being evident when her mother put her in art lessons with a kind art teacher who lived just down the street.  It continued to show up in high school and beyond, but took a long break for many years while Karin embarked on an athletic career before she met the love of her life at which point family and children took precedence.

When her athletic career was over and children were growing, that’s when her brother said something that sparked direction for her introverted personality,  “You are going to have to find a new passion”, he encouraged her.   Thus began a new chapter of growing and developing this creative gift into something bigger.

A Bear and Bison Inn on Trip Advisor

Wow! A Great Find!

The Bear & Bison exceeded all our expectations! Excellent Staff, service, charm, good value and an overall wonderful experience. Great location within walking distance to town and hiking. We stayed for 3 nights in early September and were lucky enough to stay one more night before returning to Calgary!

Both rooms we stayed in were spacious, had fireplaces, hot tubs, balconies and were well appointed. Lonnie, the owner served up 3 course gourmet breakfasts each morning.

The inn is charming with antiques and lots of room to lounge. The grounds are beautiful too with sitting areas to eat or just relax.
