“DeeDee Ann Jonrowe (b.1953) is an American kennel owner and dog musher who has competed in twenty-three races, and is a three-time runner up in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and holds the fastest time ever recorded for a woman.”
This piece depicts DeeDee Jonrowe as she prepares her team for another day on the trail. The dawn of a beautiful day is something many take for granted but musher DeeDee Jonrowe knows she is back on the trail and enjoying each new day due to God's grace in answering the prayers of her friends and loved ones for her recovery. Just 6 weeks after her chemotherapy treatments, DeeDee entered the 2003 Iditarod Sled Dog Race and was later awarded the Most Inspirational Musher along with fellow musher and cancer survivor Charlie Boulding.

Charles Gause was commissioned as the Official Fundraising Artist for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race for a 10-year campaign creating a unique commemorative wilderness print, each year, to honor the participating mushers and their dog teams.
“Charles Gause discovered his passion for the arts during his youth in Yakima, Washington. Before his relocation to Alaska, Gause pursued formal education in design and art history at Yakima Valley College. In the spring of 1975, he traveled north to Fairbanks and found employment on the North Slope for the Trans-Alaska pipeline project. Seeking a lifestyle that allowed for time and inspiration in his creative work, he left the slope and eventually settled in Eagle River with his wife, Joyce, where he focused on capturing realistic Alaskan landscapes, wilderness themes, and the Iditarod trail.”
“Charles Gause is an American Artist known for his Alaskan scenes and wildlife. One of the most striking characteristics of the art of Charles Gause is the strong narrative element, the sense it creates of a story which expands beyond the frame. Viewers think about what brought the figures in a scene, whether animal or human, to that spot and they reflect on what will happen next. The artwork of Charles Gause has been collected worldwide and his original paintings are sought after for permanent collections.”
