Kissing Puffins

- Description
Print Name: Kissing Puffins
Captured: July 2024 | Location: Elliston, Newfoundland, Canada
The Story: A rare, intimate portrait of a pair of Atlantic Puffins sharing a tender moment at the edge of the continent in Elliston, Newfoundland. The town is known as the root cellar capital of the world, but it also hosts one of the easiest-to-access puffin colonies, where thousands of these charismatic "sea parrots" return each year to nest on the cliff edges. This image captures the unique "billing" behavior—where pairs touch beaks—which helps reinforce their monogamous pair bond during the breeding season. The vibrant orange and yellow of their beaks contrast beautifully with the lush green and white of the sea thrift and coastal grasses, a breathtaking second of raw, untamed nature frozen in time.
Every print is personally inspected, and hand-signed by Métis artist Jason Lee.

Gallery Wrapped Canvas Blanco Satin Canvas (Ready to Hang)
- Best for: A modern, frameless look with an artistic, tactile feel.

- Ready to Hang: Arrives fully assembled and ready to adorn your wall.
ChromaLuxe Metallic Panels (Vibrant & Durable)
- Best for: High-impact areas where clarity and color "pop" are the priorities.
- Details: Images are infused directly into aluminum panels for breathtaking depth and a glossy finish. These are scratch-resistant, waterproof, and can be cleaned with standard glass cleaner.
- Float Mount: Arrives with a hidden rear mount that makes the art appear to "levitate" 1/2" off the wall.
