Canadian Doctor is a surreal mixed-media collage where the natural world quietly takes control. Featuring a dignified puffin physician surrounded by anatomical sketches, vintage laboratory bottles, retro technology, and scientific imagery, this artwork imagines a world where animals study humans instead of the other way around.
Created with layered paper collage, ink, and watercolor on board, the piece blends curiosity, humor, and vintage academic aesthetics. The puffin—calm, intelligent, and observant—stands among diagrams of the human body, suggesting a highly educated doctor with a deep understanding of human anatomy.
The warm antique tones and scientific details give the collage the feeling of a forgotten Canadian natural history archive crossed with a whimsical medical journal.
