Silent Swimmer

The Story Behind The Image:

This June we set our clocks for 2:30 a.m., strapped the canoe on the roof and took long, winding dirt roads to our put-in spot.

Being kissed by thousands of mosquitos, black flies and deer flies is always worth it when put into perspective. Algonquin’s backcountry holds a special magnificence, the unknown of what could grace our path feels similar to the wonder of Christmas Eve. Sometimes, it’s pure magic.

This season, we had 34 moose sightings in just 48 short hours. This majestic bull put on quite the show, grazing alongside a very pregnant female and offering perfectly mirror reflections as he swam, napped and kept watch over the lake.

Our Craftsmanship:

Each Fine Art Print is produced on the esteemed Hahnemühle Photo Rag, recognized for its superior quality, rich blacks, uniform colour reproduction and exceptional detail. The ultra-matte finish makes it a favourite among illustrators and photographers. The surface has a slight texture with a velvety cotton feel, facilitating seamless colour gradients. The paper's delicate nature requires careful handling, but thanks to our one-of-a-kind, Canadian-crafted frames your valuable artwork is impeccably protected.

Our live-edge black walnut frames are pieces of art in their own right, one-of-a-kind and made by Canadian artisans using Canadian-sourced wood. These frames bring the outdoors to your living room.

Accompanying every Limited Edition print is a Certificate of Authenticity, which includes a unique hologram sticker, signature and edition number.
