Meet the Kodiak Behind The Canvas
Micah Smith is a freelance artist born in the Pacific Northwest, where towering evergreens meet the salt-kissed sea and creativity grows wild among the rain and mist. Kodiak Coast Arts was born on these rugged shores, where ancient forests meet the restless waves and the bear stands as a timeless emblem of strength, purpose, and spirit. This is where my journey as an artist, author, and photographer takes root—each piece carrying the wild heartbeat of the coast. Every canvas, photograph, and story I create is a living tribute to my father’s memory, weaving his legacy into the enduring strength of the bear. To me, the Kodiak is more than a symbol—it is my guardian, my guide, and the bridge between family, creativity, and the wilderness I call home. At Kodiak Coast Arts, you’ll discover where art and nature meet, where legacy breathes through creation, and where the tides carry stories told in paint, word, and light. Step into the Bear Den, and see the world through the eyes of the Kodiak—where strength, story, and the sea live forever side by side.
