The Marina Marksman (1 of 100 Limited Edition)

The Story

A Cooper's Hawk perched on the wire mesh of a crab pot, with a colorful stack of weathered buoys in the background under an overcast sky.

The Location

The marinas and docks of the Chesapeake watershed are where wildlife and daily life intersect. Birds claim pilings, docks, and railings as their own, coexisting with the boats and watermen who share the same shoreline.

Artist's Perspective

"A woodland raptor on a waterman's crab pot — you can't script that. The buoys and netting behind it tell the whole story of these working marinas where wildlife and commerce share the same dock." — Ryan Lott
