The Coyote

The coyote has long captivated the human imagination—a trickster figure in indigenous traditions, a symbol of adaptability and cunning, yet also a creature of profound solitude.

This piece explores the liminal space between wildness and domestication, between shadow and light. The desert wanderer exists in both worlds, belonging fully to neither.

The layered textures create depth and movement, inviting the viewer to discover new details with each viewing. Mixed media on canvas allows for a richness that a single medium couldn’t achieve.

There’s something about the coyote’s gaze—neither predator nor prey, but something in between. An observer. A survivor.

This piece measures 24” x 36” and is available in the shop.
