Prints are archival, plant based, museum quality, printed on a beautifully etched cotton rag paper. Prints are sold un-matted and unframed. All sizes are the full size of the print, including a one inch border around the image. Conservation Prints are hand signed by Kimerlee. All prints have a slight sepia tone hand crafted and unique to Kimerlee’s works.

Because prints are very fragile, they shouldn't be stored in the tube for extended periods of time. Make sure to open the package within 24-48 hrs of receiving it and take it to a professional framer as soon as possible for opening and archival dry mounting. Handling your large print yourself could result in wrinkles or tears. In the unlikely event of damage, please see policy HERE.


FRAMING: It is not uncommon for prints to have a strong curl to them when first unrolled. Discuss with your professional framer about dry-mounting your print, using archival materials only, to ensure it will remain flat once framed.


PLACEMENT: All artworks should not be placed in direct sunlight to avoid any fading over time.

ABOUT THE PIECE

The bond between mare and foal is nothing short of fierce. Witnessing such a strong connection across all the different and varying landscapes is watching Mother Nature in her finest form. 

Out, amidst a vast area of land, and a sprawling herd of varying bands, mares and foals can get separated in an instant, due to the never ending curiosity and playful wanderings of these young ones. A mare will suddenly lift her head with laser focus and determination, emitting a call with a strong resonance, the very call of the wild. Her foal, no matter how far has strayed will recognize that call and swiftly return to their mother’s side. Oftentimes you will see the mare give a reprimanding nudge or a nip, in an effort to remind the youngster where they belong. 

Likewise, a young foal can let out a panicked squeak or whinny from a distance they have traveled, serving as a distress signal. The mare will hear the young ones call of vulnerability and the two will find each other from hundreds of feet, and multiple horses away. This extraordinary connection, and communication is profound, rooted in thousands of years of navigating their wild world without the assistance from human interaction.

I am reminded to honor precious life bonds that unite us all, and to the never-ending, enduring beauty of our greater wild world.  

This week was unexpected magic being my first trip to Utah's West Desert. It was the spring of 2009, when I first set foot in the Onaqui Mountains of Utah, a place that has now drawn me back for countless visits each year. 

Each trip there is a muse, a certain horse who stands out and captures me with their beauty and presence. Amidst the vast breathtaking landscape, this horse of remarkable stature seemd to be in my eye sight everywhere I turned. A powerful leader with barely a mark on him, a stunning family band and a quiet strength I learned over time was ultimately what it takes to be a respected stallion in the wild. 

In the vast, untamed expanse of the wilderness, where nature's beauty reigns supreme, a striking stallion caught the eye of a young filly. His powerful presence and stunning appearance captured her attention, and a gentle courtship ensued.

As the stallion approached the filly's family, there was a respectful exchange between him and her father. No conflict arose; it was simply understood that it was time for the filly to fly the nest and start a journey of her own. Often times filly’s and their mothers are hard to separate, causing a bit of tension in the process. This one appeared as a mutual blessing, with nature dictating the rhythm of her transition from one wild family to the next.
