Featured Artist: Chris Ankeny
We at Mount Currie Coffee Company are proud to have the photography of Chris Ankeny on our walls. Before his role at MCCC as owner/operator, Chris spent a majority of time in the mountains as a professional photographer. The snowy images are little windows to a culture we love and embrace, mountain life. We are able to live vicariously through Chris' lens and fly over huge Alaskan peaks as well as shread the spines found in the surrounding peaks right here in Pemberton. Enjoy!
ARTIST BIO:
The first time Chris stepped foot in the Pemberton Valley it happened to be atop Mount Currie. A very lucky situation had presented itself and he found himself filling an empty chopper seat headed for Currie. That was more than 10 years ago... ever since that day he made it a personal goal to relocate to this dreamy valley. After being here a few years now, he has found that the quality of Pemberton life to be unmatched, from the relaxed pace to the endless expanse of mountains, there is a lifetime of adventure to uncover here.
As long as he can remember, Chris’ life has revolved around the thrill of skiing and snowboarding. It is the beauty found in the mountains and the endless exploration for the next zone that keeps every season just as exciting as the last. The natural beauty of the mountains, the tranquility and labor of ascending them, and the thrill of the descent is what Chris tries to capture and transmit to the viewer of his photographs. The mountains have provided so much fulfillment in his life that it feels like a personal responsibility to try and share these experiences with others.
