Pika - Wildlife Art Painting on Canvas

This 9" x 12" oil and mixed media painting on gallery-wrapped canvas features one of the Pacific Northwest’s most endearing creatures—the pika—perched on a rock amidst a dreamy abstract background in soft blue and golden yellow hues.

With its round ears, tiny paws, and ever-alert gaze, the pika captures hearts with its undeniable cuteness. But beyond its charm, this little alpine dweller plays an important role in our mountain ecosystems—and faces increasing pressure from climate change. Through expressive texture and layered brushwork, this piece honors the pika not just for its sweet appearance, but as a symbol of the delicate balance of life in the wild.

As part of my ongoing commitment to wildlife conservation, this painting invites viewers to pause, appreciate the small wonders of nature, and remember that every creature—no matter how small—deserves our respect and care.
