This limited edition archival giclee print is an effort to help promote awareness of the urgent need to protect wild salmon habitat restoration in the Pacific Northwest and to enhance orca protections for our endangered Southern Resident Orcas.
Our southern resident killer whales rely on Chinook salmon for 97% of their diet, and are on the brink of extinction due to rapidly declining wild Chinook salmon populations.
Time is running out, but what can we do?
What is good for Chinook salmon is also good for killer whales. Restoring key habitats, including access to historic spawning grounds for Chinook salmon, would result in millions more wild salmon in the oceans, supporting all of the food web including a share for all fishers—marine mammal and human.

I created this original painting on an 8x8” wood panel using a blend of acrylic paint and watercolor. With varying hues of blue and indigo, this fascinating bird, which I occasionally find scouting fish at the creek near my home on the north Oregon coast, was brought to fruition. If you have even had the fortunate occasion to watch a kingfisher in action, it is a true gift from nature.
Printed using high-quality inks on Moab Lasal Photo Matte, an archival fine art paper with a smooth surface, this heavy weight (230 g, 9.5-mil), neutral white, acid-free paper was engineered for accurate color reproduction that provides high contrast and high-resolution output.
The image size is 8 x 8” with an additional 1/2” border for easy framing.
