Limited Edition UV Cured Panel Print — Paddington the Barred Owl, 20×30 inches

Please allow 4-6wks for delivery

This limited edition print is produced using UV-cured archival inks printed directly onto a 6mm expanded PVC panel — a process that bonds the image to the surface rather than applying it on top, resulting in exceptional sharpness, accurate color reproduction, and a clean, nearly matte finish. The substrate is composed of up to 50% recycled material and is fully recyclable, making it as responsible a choice as it is a beautiful one.

Each print arrives ready to hang in a classic black floating frame, allowing a subtle gap between the image and the frame edge that gives the piece a clean, contemporary presentation. This is a limited edition of 250 prints, each individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Any image on my website can be produced as a UV panel print in a range of sizes. If you don't see what you're looking for, please reach out through the contact form and I will be happy to help.

The subject of this painting is Paddington, a Barred Owl and education ambassador at Badger Run Wildlife Rehabilitation in Keno, Oregon, where I volunteer. She came to Badger Run in 2020 after being struck by a car, sustaining a wing injury that left her unable to return to the wild. There was, however, a second reason she could not be released: Oregon Fish & Wildlife prohibits the return of Barred Owls to the wild in this state. They are classified as invasive.

That classification deserves pause. Barred Owls did not arrive in the Pacific Northwest by ship or in the hold of a cargo plane. Their range expanded westward gradually and organically—following human settlement, which fragmented the old-growth forests of the East and opened corridors that made western migration possible. They followed us. And now, as culling programs target them in an effort to protect the imperiled Northern Spotted Owl, individual birds like Paddington find themselves caught in the consequences of choices that were never theirs to make.

I painted Paddington because I know her. I have watched her adapt to her life with grace and curiosity, and I wanted to honor that—and to ask, quietly, who the real author of this story is.
