Like nearly everyone who ventures into Alaska, Arthur Flavell has tackled a variety of jobs to keep body and soul together. A sampling includes work in communications and radio (an extension of broadcast experience in the Lower 48) in Naknek and King Salmon on the Bering Sea coast; weather observation in Galena on the Yukon River and commuter airline pilot in Fairbanks.
As a pilot, Art spent hours in the Alaskan skies narrating tours of Interior Alaska with destinations above the Arctic Circle such as Ft. Yukon, Bettles and Anaktuvuk Pass. Enhancing these tours were colorful stories and vivid verbal pictures of the Alaskan lifestyle. Now he has translated many of these unique places and people into intricately detailed drawings of the Alaska he has come to love.
