Kinship and Tall Shadows – Limited Edition Giraffe Collage Art Print | Contemporary Wildlife Photography

Description
This mixed-media collage celebrates the quiet grace of giraffes living wild and free—where their kinship and movement are unconfined, belonging to no enclosure. Created on lemon paper using a combination of hand illustration, paint, and India ink, the work layers vivid textures with a documentary spirit. The original black-and-white photographs were taken by the artist in South Africa in 2019, capturing the towering silhouettes and delicate gestures of these extraordinary animals.
Rich washes of ochre, inked details, and handwritten text create a composition that feels at once archival and alive—honoring both the mystery and familiarity of wildlife seen up close.
This limited edition print brings an elegant statement to any fine art collection, conservation-focused space, or home that appreciates contemporary storytelling and visual texture.

About the Artist
I began incorporating photographs into my work when I founded Costa Rica Natural Paper Co. in 1992, blending my love of photography with a passion for sustainable materials. Over the years, my process evolved into a kind of diaristic manifesto—a collection of visual essays layered with intuition, philosophy, travel, and current events.
The thrill of scavenging for paper scraps and repurposing them into my own canvas grew into an expedition of creativity. Each collage transforms the mundane into something extraordinary, capturing the overlooked beauty and urgency of remembrance.

Processed in my studio in California, each work embodies decades of observation and experimentation.
