Song of a Cardinal - Medium P07781-P00077 Inspired by Navajo tapestry rugsThis mixed media piece features an original photograph printed with archival pigment inks on cotton printmaking paper; artist Yukoi Ishii then highlights the image with colored pencils to create a painterly effect and affixes the print to a cradled wood panel with non toxic adhesive.
