Meet Me in the Canopy captures the tender presence of one of nature’s most endearing giants. I was drawn to the softness in this giraffe’s eyes — that gentle curiosity animals often share when they sense you mean no harm.
Against the cool, misty greens of the forest, the warm light across the face creates a peaceful moment of connection, almost as if this quiet soul has stepped forward to meet you.
Giraffes have always fascinated me — their grace, their stillness, and the calm wisdom they seem to carry. In this piece, I spent extra time shaping the eyes, because they are the heart of the encounter and the truest glimpse into the animal’s spirit.
My hope is that this painting brings a sense of calm, presence, and wonder into your home — a reminder that even the tallest among us can carry the softest voice.
