The Puget Sound southern resident orcas rely on Chinook salmon as their primary prey, feeding on them year round. In large part due to four migration-blocking dams on the lower Snake River, wild Chinook are at 10% of their historic numbers, threatening the survival of these 74 orcas.

This is a print of an original oil painting on wood panel titled “Food and Shelter.” Image measures 10 x 5” (25.4 x 12.7 cm) with a ½” white border around the edge.

Printed on 100% cotton fiber, acid-free Epson paper (330 gsm weight) using UltraChrome archival ink. It has a smooth, velvety finish and beautiful color. Signed and titled by the artist.

Packaged in an eco-friendly sleeve (plant-based & compostable), and shipped in a sturdy, bend-proof cardboard mailer. Ships from the San Francisco Bay Area, via first class mail.

Thanks for visiting and feel free to reach out with any questions!

This painting is part of my series, “Submerged,” which explores the effects of dams on rivers, their species and their ecosystems. See more on my website at www.jidowney.com.
