The Pursuit by Art by Tarryn Zerbinos in Anchorage
The Pursuit
I was inspired to paint this fierce bear from a time we flew our little 180 south of Cordova for some great salmon fishing. I was 6 months pregnant and we had our 2 year old in tow with his little strider bike to bike the beach. We landed and fished our little hearts out in the company of these giant bears. They were across the river and of course I was on high alert but they didn’t seem to care about us at all just wanted their next catch. However, one did run into the water and stole a fish off our friends line and that was the moment that inspired this guy. The bear was agile and moved with grace, determined to get this easy fish snack. It was adrenaline pumping and I will never forget it. To this day, I always sort of want to see a bear (preferably from a great distance) while we’re camping just to ogle at them and then on the other hand I have no desire to see one because… well you’ve heard the stories.

Anchorage, United StatesVibrant is a word used to describe Tarryn Zerbinos’s acrylic paintings. She enjoys mixing realism and abstract art to create a world that is thought provoking and warms your heart and home. Like most artists, she pulls inspiration from the world around her. This includes, the mountains of Alaska, wildlife, traveling, and motherhood. Tarryn was born in Alaska, but raised in Wisconsin. It was there she spent a short time studying fine art at,
Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, before traveling to Barrow, AK where her love for Alaska was rekindled. Quickly her two week visit in Barrow transitioned to a permanent move. It wasn’t until a few years down the road when she had her two children, that she realized she needed to get back into doing what she loves which is creating. She now spends her time living in Anchorage, AK creating art, painting murals, logos, pet portraits, and exploring the back country of Alaska with her Husband, her two sons, and their dog.
