As this painting took shape, a deeper theme began to emerge—a gathering storm that mirrored the challenges we face in our own lives. In the heart of it stood the ram, a symbol of resilience and strength, unwavering in the face of adversity. It's a powerful experience when a painting reveals something unexpected—something that wasn’t there at the start, but rises naturally through the creative process.

ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS
As a proud Alberta artist, I’m excited to release the Wild & Free Collector’s Mug—featuring a bighorn sheep. The bighorn is the official animal of Alberta, a living emblem of our resilience, pride, and wild beauty.
I chose this animal not only for its striking power and presence, but because it so perfectly represents the untamed spirit of our province—free, strong, and unapologetically Albertan.
Each mug is individually crafted in my Alberta studio, based off my original paintings and not mass-produced overseas. Every purchase supports local art and carries a message of provincial pride from my hands to yours.
Studio-made in Alberta
15 oz high-gloss pearl coated ceramic mug
Durable, dishwasher- and microwave-safe
Bring the wild home with a museum-quality poster printed on premium Epson Enhanced Matte Paper. Designed for rich, accurate color and crisp detail, this bright white paper features a smooth matte finish that reduces glare while enhancing every brushstroke and texture from the original artwork.
Each poster is printed using archival-quality Epson UltraChrome inks for long-lasting vibrancy and detail—trusted by professional photographers and fine art printers alike.
Perfect for framing or display as-is, these posters offer an affordable way to collect and enjoy high-impact wildlife art straight from my Alberta studio.
This option is a signed and numbered print which like all of Des’s prints are produced in his studio under his strict supervision on a wide format Epson SureColor Printer. Using only the finest Italian made 100% cotton rag paper with a smooth finish, this option is hand signed and numbered by Des and limited to an edition size of only 95 prints. This print is shipped rolled with a certificate of authenticity and is guaranteed to arrive in mint condition. Custom framing is required on this print which allows you to pick exactly the frame and matt combination of your choice to match your own specific decor.
The canvas version of this painting is our top of the line option and is printed with the same exacting standards as its paper counterparts but on an American made artists canvas. This version also requires custom framing of your choosing but doesn’t require the use of glass and matts usually resulting in an overall lower framing cost. The canvas is also shipped rolled and arrives to you signed and numbered with two coats of an archival varnish and a certificate of authenticity. Your canvas once stretched and framed will have the closest resemblance to the original painting. Des’s canvas editions are limited to only 50 copies for an even higher collectable value.
