Monkey

- Description
Print Name: Monkey
Captured: September 2022 | Location: Assiniboine Park Zoo, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
The Story: A powerful portrait of a **Common Squirrel Monkey** (*Saimiri sciureus*), captured at the Assiniboine Park Zoo's Toucan Ridge exhibit. The image freezes a breathtaking second as the monkey, an omnivore that primarily eats fruits and insects in the wild, enjoys a snack. Known for their intelligence (they have a large brain relative to their body size) and highly social nature, these New World monkeys use their tails for balance as they rapidly move through the canopy layer. This image highlights the animal's curious personality and vibrant orange and yellow fur, bringing a sense of untamed, tropical magic into your space.
Every print is personally inspected, and hand-signed by Métis artist Jason Lee.
Choose the perfect medium to bring this piece of Canadian wildlife into your space:
- Best for: Classic museum-quality collections and custom framing.
- Details: I use the Palo Duro Soft Gloss Rag from Red River Paper, A 315gsm, 100% cotton fiber paper with a subtle sheen that enhances the vibrant oranges and yellows of the fur against the deep green background. It is archival, acid-free, and meets ISO 9706 standards for long-term conservation.
- Shipping: Shipped unframed in a rigid tube or flat-packed (8x12).
Gallery Wrapped Canvas Blanco Satin Canvas (Ready to Hang)
- Best for: A modern, frameless look with an artistic, tactile feel.
- Details: I use the Blanco Satin Canvas from Red River Paper, Heavyweight 350gsm canvas gallery-wrapped over a 1.5" wood frame. Finished with three coats of protective varnish for UV and moisture resistance.
- 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.
