New Lithograph 2025

I am pleased to announce the release of my new color lithograph “Ferret in the Headlights (black-footed ferret)“, published by Shark’s Ink., Lyons, CO.

The black-footed ferret inhabits Colorado, and is arguably the most endangered mammal in the United States. Conservationists are attempting to save the species through methods including cloning.
