Desert Coyote | Original Matted Graphite & Carbon Print

This piece portrays a coyote whose form holds a desert landscape within it, inspired by the terrain along the Douglas Spring Trail near Tucson. Created with graphite and carbon pencils, the drawing blends wildlife and environment into a single, unified image. The layered shading and tonal contrast echo the textures of both fur and stone, suggesting the deep connection between the animal and its habitat. This original print reflects the quiet resilience and presence of desert life.
