The Pier Council (Open Edition)

The Story

An adult and juvenile Brown Pelican perched together on a rusted orange railing with a white seagull standing nearby against a bright, clear sky.

Artist's Perspective

"Seeing an adult and juvenile pelican side by side on these rusted pier railings tells the story of a species establishing itself in the Bay. Twenty years ago, Brown Pelicans this far north would have been remarkable. Now they're becoming part of the furniture." — Ryan Lott

Curator's Recommendation

The horizontal orientation (landscape cut) makes this piece well-suited for living rooms, offices, and above fireplaces. Available as a fine art paper print or archival-quality framed canvas in white or black.

Print Quality

Archival-Quality Canvas. Made in the USA with globally sourced materials.

Every Chesapeake Focus print is produced on archival-grade poly-cotton canvas using UL GREENGUARD GOLD certified inks — water resistant, fade resistant, and anti-yellowing. Each canvas is hand-stretched over kiln-dried stretcher bars that are knot-free and warp-free, then finished with your choice of hardwood floater frame in matte black, white, brown, or natural. Ready to hang right out of the box.

Stretcher bars sourced from FSC-certified, sustainably managed forests — a quiet nod to the landscapes our work celebrates.
