Wedged in the crevasses of golden hills, the valley oak creates a cool oasis from the summer heat.  Here, two king birds perch on top of wire cages which are protecting young oaks that sprouted from acorns planted by school children. This print was created to support Point Blue Conservation Science projects.
Each “Creative Print” is an original. The inking and hand pulling processes are labor intensive, contributing lovely individual differences and insuring a small edition size. Prints are wrapped in archival paper, and shipped flat. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.  Framed prints are available through my galleries.
