Ever since I was a kid, I’ve enjoyed crossing the Prairies and camping in the Mountains. It’s not the Destination or the Journey that is important, it’s the Gear! I LOVE Vintage Campers! I love seeing what everyone else is traveling in too – on the road and, in the campground.
As memorable as those childhood adventures and my camping trips with my children (in our vintage VW camper), it is always that Wildlife encounter that makes the whole thing Truly unforgettable! This show is about celebrating those vintage RIGS.
I'd like to share My Recipe with you… Scour the internet and select an example of a good-looking Camper. (The best photos are found when someone is selling one – front, side, ¾ view.) Help yourself to an Image - spruce it up a bit, then insert it into an idyllic landscape! To spice it up, introduce a little Drama to taste! Enjoy.
So now… just when you thought it was safe to go outside again – remember – DANGER Lurks! Be safe everyone. Wash your hands frequently. Please don’t feed the BEARS, and best latch the door at night!
All Fine Art Prints are created using archival pigment inks, printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 100% Cotton Paper, and part of an open edition.

Mitchell Fenton was born in Winnipeg in 1962. While in Kindergarten, Fenton decided that he was going to be an Artist forever! He took classes at the Forum Art Institute for many years and then left Manitoba to attend the Ontario College of Art where he studied Experimental Arts. An early focus on sculpture resulted in two public art commissions, both in Toronto, where he now lives.
Fenton's practice now focuses on painting. He enjoys traveling across Canada - a favourite place being the Rocky Mountains - working en plein air while looking for new and exciting landscapes to explore and paint. In the studio, Fenton paints mainly from the field studies but also uses photo references. Sometimes figures or objects are incorporated into the image, often opening the door for his sense of humour to peek out. Fenton returns every summer to Manitoba, where he has a summer studio on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. There, he enjoys painting the local landscape and continues to experiment with the genre.
“I love painting. I find it infinitely interesting and challenging… “
– Mitchell Fenton
