Slip beneath the surface with Silent Passage, an open edition fine art print featuring a hippopotamus quietly moving through the water. With only part of its massive body visible above the surface, the piece captures the surprising stillness and grace of this powerful animal.

Like all of my alcohol ink paintings, I never begin with the animal. Every painting starts as an abstract alcohol ink background. Only after the colors and shapes have formed do I search for the hidden subject, then bring it to life using 99% isopropyl alcohol, Q-tips, paint brushes, and alcohol ink markers, creating a realistic animal that emerges naturally from the abstract.

Carefully reproduced from the original artwork, this print preserves the rich colors, intricate details, and luminous qualities that make the painting so captivating.
