Artist Tanya Stiles has produced a special edition Giclée box canvas print entitled Tyger which would never go unnoticed. Measuring approximately 24 ins x 32 ins (61cm x 81cm) the price is £1,500 of which £1,000 per print will be donated to WLT’s Big Cat Appeal. “My Tyger print was inspired by the classic and powerful poem of the same title by William Blake”, says Tanya. “The wild and firey beast emerges from his creators furnace in the depths of the forest, each line of the poem is one of the Tygers bristling whiskers.” This compelling image is printed using twelve rich archival inks onto heavy cotton canvas and expertly stretched over a strong, light, knotless frame. The wrapped edges of the print are black, continuing the colour from the margins of the painting. You can find out more about the artistic and craftsmanship processes which go into the making of your print on her website. Tanya, a long-time fan of Sir David Attenborough, believes that the WLT’s judicious and enduring work is crucial for our Earth. “I very much hope that people will want to buy my Tyger print as I want to help by giving something back to our planet which gives us so much of everything” says Tanya. £1,000 donated to Big Cat Appeal for every Tyger print sold.
