White Ibis — The Professor
From the Collection Oh, to Fly!
This white ibis art print captures one of Florida’s most recognizable coastal birds. White ibises are everywhere in my part of the state — wading through park lawns, perching on docks, gathering in flocks that move together like a single organism. They have long, curved bills that probe mud for crustaceans, and a body language that ranges from professorial to downright quirky. I named one of my ibis paintings “The Professor” for exactly that reason.
I paint each ibis freehand with Kissho Gansai mineral pigments on archival cotton rag paper. White birds are a particular challenge in watercolor — the white is the paper itself, so everything is built around it through careful shadow work and the restraint to leave the brightest areas untouched. It’s negative space as a technical discipline. Each giclée is printed in my Pawtucket, Rhode Island studio on archival cotton rag, color-matched to the original.
White ibis prints bring coastal personality to living rooms, sunrooms, and beach houses where Florida’s birds feel at home.

Materials: Prints of my original, handmade pieces are made using only archival inks on heavyweight archival rag paper by Moab designed to last a lifetime. Learn more about my materials and process.
Framing: All work is elegantly framed in pristine white handmade wooden frames. The frames are 1.5" deep and handcrafted from solid wood by my favorite local framer.
A Note About Your Print's Edges: Each print arrives with a thin 1/8" white border all around—this bit of breathing space ensures that more of the image remains visible when framed, as standard framing techniques can obscure the edges.
If you prefer your image printed edge-to-edge without this margin, simply add a note with your order requesting "full-frame printing" and I'll happily accommodate.
My promise is to deliver your art exactly as you envision it in your space.
