Purple & Prickly (2019, Arizona)
Purple & Prickly (2019, Arizona)
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a purple prickly pear cactus with such bright and richly-colored paddles as this one. I found it while in Tucson in 2019, and I kept it hanging above my desk for months afterward.
The larger print looks great behind glass thanks to the gorgeous, heavyweight Rag Photographique paper. The smaller print, though, is perfect as-is, with a beautiful but subtle surface texture that catches the light when held at an angle.
Proceeds from the sale of this print benefit equally the Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resources Defense Council, both of which score above 90% on Charity Navigator overall, and are praised in particular for their accountability and transparency.

These prints are made in-house using archival-quality papers and pigment-based inkjet inks. When protected appropriately, they should resist fading for decades. The 8.5 x 11 print is printed on 285gsm fine art paper with a coarse structure and a matte finish. The 18 x 24 print is printed on 100% cotton, 310gsm fine art paper with a matte finish.
8.5 x 11 prints will have a 0.8in white border around the edges. All other prints are borderless (edge-to-edge).
Print sizes 11 x 17 or smaller will be shipped flat in a chipboard mailer. Larger prints will be gently rolled and delivered in a reusable poster tube.
