The Hinono’ei (Arapaho) name for Lichen is bííteibé(í)yookú, meaning "ghost tears". On the faces of boulders, tiny rock lichens look like trails and puddles of salty dried tears. They are collected, dried, pounded, and with water, made into a wash for the eyes 🌾💚🌾

This is a 5x7” giclee print of my original painting, Lichen. It’s printed with archival ink on thick, textured cotton rag paper, signed on the back, packaged in a protective sleeve with backing board, and ready for a standard-size frame.

Archival prints are shipped in a flat envelope through USPS Priority Mail.
