Neil Graham�s work is representative of a Yukon tradition of illustrating people in daily life. In these drawings he remembers a personal experience of having undergone surgery and being hospitalized. His work has a quality reminiscent of social realism that we can see in such Canadian artists as Miller Brittain and his �The Rummage Sale,� 1940 (National Gallery of Canada). Like Brittain, Graham�s visual storytelling is a way to communicate his interpretation of real life experiences.
