Calm in waiting

Great Horned Owls can remain motionless on a perch for hours, conserving energy while scanning their territory. They don't hunt frantically—they wait, grounded and calm, for the right opportunity to present itself. This represents patience as active stillness rather than passive waiting, understanding that rushing wastes energy while calm observation creates advantage.

Seeing truth in darkness

Great Horned Owls have exceptional binocular vision and can rotate their heads 270 degrees, seeing clearly in near-total darkness where other predators are blind. They process visual information instantly, making accurate assessments in conditions of uncertainty. This represents the ability to perceive accurately when others can't, understanding that clarity comes from both keen observation and rapid, accurate processing.

Acting when it counts

When conditions align, Great Horned Owls strike with complete commitment—silent, precise, and without hesitation. They take prey as large as skunks, porcupines, and other raptors, acting decisively when the moment is right, then returning to calm watchfulness. This represents full commitment to action when it matters, understanding that decisiveness means choosing the moment, not constant motion.

The Great Horned Owl inhabits nearly every habitat in the Americas, from Arctic treeline to tropical rainforests, deserts to suburban parks. This extreme adaptability makes them one of the continent's most successful predators—thriving not through specialization but through opportunistic intelligence. Found year-round throughout North America, they begin nesting earlier than almost any bird, sometimes laying eggs in January while snow still blankets the ground.

Great Horned Owls are solitary, territorial hunters that mate for life. They hunt primarily at dusk and dawn—perching motionless while scanning for movement below. Their diet is remarkably diverse, from insects to skunks (one of few predators immune to spray), rabbits to other raptors, making them apex opportunists. They don't build nests, instead appropriating stick platforms from hawks, eagles, or crows. Their deep, resonant hooting—typically four to five syllables in distinctive rhythm—establishes territory and maintains pair bonds. Known for fearless nest defense, they attack threats regardless of size, including humans who venture too close during breeding season.

The Flora Fauna Collection began in 2007 as an ongoing visual study of wildlife from around the world. Each piece captures both the essential form of a species and the unique character it embodies—celebrating natural beauty while revealing what makes each animal distinct.

Featured in British Vanity Fair, IDN Magazine, Dwell, Apartment Therapy, Design Milk, Grain Edit, and Complex. The collection appeals to wildlife enthusiasts, design-focused collectors, and those who find personal meaning in the animals they choose to live with.

Designed for modular display and gradual collecting. These prints work individually as accent pieces or grouped to create personal galleries. Build a collection by region, habitat, aesthetic preference, or personal connection—each approach is equally valid.
