Perched High in the Mountains

from $34.00

The Chisos Mountains are a rugged island in the sky, rising out of the heat of the Chihuahuan Desert to provide a perspective that feels entirely untethered from the world below. On this late afternoon, I found a vantage point where the mountains seemed to fall away into an infinite valley. In the foreground, a lone cactus stood weathered, its sharp textures catching the warm, directional light of a sun that was slowly making its way toward the horizon.

Looking past the cactus and across the valley floor, I could see the distant, jagged peaks of Mexico stretching into the hazy distance. From this elevation, the concept of a border felt entirely irrelevant. There were no lines, no fences, and no markings - only a continuous, unfolding wilderness of stone and sky. This is a side of Texas that many people do not expect to see. It is a high-altitude world of pine and juniper that looks more like a scene from a dream than the dusty plains of the popular imagination. Standing there in the cooling air, watching the light bridge the gap between two nations, I felt a deep sense of the endurance of the land itself.

Perched High in the Mountains is a record of that clarity and a reminder that the wild does not acknowledge the boundaries we draw on a map. It is a match for those who appreciate the hidden corners of the American West, specifically individuals who want a piece of Texas that defies stereotypes and shows the state’s true geographical diversity. It is also ideal for the traveler or conservationist who finds beauty in the idea of a "borderless" wilderness, where nature remains a unified and majestic force. Whether framed in a rustic wood to lean into the Chisos heritage or a clean black frame for a modern look, Perched High in the Mountains brings a sense of quiet authority and the rugged charm of Big Bend into your home.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
