In collaboration with Alex Kittoe.

Photographed by Alex Kittoe in the Masai Mara, Golden Reign began with the first light of day spreading softly across the savannah — a moment of stillness and quiet strength.

When Alex and I began collaborating on this piece, I was drawn to the calm power in the lion’s gaze and the way the morning light seemed to wrap the landscape in gold. I layered in delicate fields of color and texture, weaving warmth and florals into the horizon to echo that feeling of majesty and peace.

This piece feels like a portrait of the wild at its most serene — powerful yet tender, bathed in golden light.

Printed on museum-grade paper, Golden Reign measures 12x18 inches with 1-inch margins and is part of a limited edition of 20.
