Forage

— Archival Quality Giclee art print
— smooth 100% white cotton rag

The sea otter is considered a keystone species, having a huge effect on their ecosystem by protecting kelp forests (along with the species that depend on kelp forests) from being over-grazed by sea urchins. The removal of sea otters could disrupt the balance of their environment detrimentally, which is alarming because sea otters are currently an endangered species. I was lucky enough to get to see them at Morro Bay on a trip to California a couple years ago.

About the Print
My open edition giclee art prints are masterfully printed on 100% cotton rag with pigment-based inks for archival quality — that’s 200 years of beauty. Each one is printed and cut to order. Due to this, your new print may take two to three weeks to produce and ship. For international shipping, please read the FAQ carefully for best practices and order processing times.

The 8″x10″ art print comes with a 1/4 inch white border. Borders are helpful when matting and framing are in your art print’s future (which I highly recommend for optimal enjoyment and protection). The 4″x6″ print size is borderless, meaning the print goes from edge-to-edge.

These prints are sourced from my beautiful collection of 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals titled the Fauna Collection. Created together in October 2020, they are a meditation on the diversity of wildlife found in our back yards. Many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.

Eusociality — Art PrintA flat photo of the black, white, and copper honeybee drawing on tan paper. The honeybee has landed in the center of a white coneflower head. The petals of the coneflower are soft and velvety. The honeybee has two relaxed, transparent wings attaching to its fuzzy thorax. Its glossy black eyes are focused on the flower, with its antenna pointed down. Behind the bee you can see a hint of its striped rear-end. Above the bee and flower is a solid copper sun with sunbeams.A flat photo of the black, white, and copper snail drawing on tan paper.
