How to choose your wall art: 

First, select whether you’d like a fine art paper print or canvas and the appropriate size. Please check sizes carefully before ordering.

All our prints are printed using the Giclée method on a premium quality heavyweight fine art print material that has a smooth, clean finish. We chose this option rather than photo paper, as this museum-quality paper is extremely consistent and will give you a beautiful print that will last a lifetime. 

Once you’ve made your selection, you will need to decide whether you’d like it framed or unframed. 

Framed prints

Our framed prints come with a white mount and your choice of black, white or natural wood frames. We use classic box frames for our framed prints. The frame has a box profile measuring 20mm (front face) by 33mm (depth from wall). Each print comes with a white mount and is placed under a durable Perspex glaze.

Please note: the size listed refers to the size of the glaze and does not include the width of the frame. If you choose 30cmx40cm, this is the size of the glaze and not the image. The image will be smaller to fit inside the mount. 

Framed canvas

Our framed canvases use ‘floating’ frames, with the frame sitting approximately 5mm from the edge of the canvas helping to create a floating border.

Elizabeth Yicheng Shen: Guarding

It is rare to see the mule deer in this area during this time of the year. Bobcat sightings in the park are also uncommon, this was my first time for sure. Was the bobcat involved in chasing the deer off the cliff or was she just lucky to be in right place at the right time? No one knows for sure how the mule deer fell off the top of the West Yellowstone lava flow and ended up just 20 feet above the Firehole River. What we do know was that, for the next 10 days or so, the cat sat on the carcass guarding, eating and sleeping and rarely left. It seemed to be a perfect location to hide the carcass. The snowfall also helped the cat bury her meal. Her only enemies were from the sky: the ravens to which the cat never gave the opportunity to steal even a bite.
