Etched in Wild captures the raw spirit of a wolf in a unique medium—scratchboard with ink. Every stroke reveals layers of texture, from the sharp glint of the eye to the depth of its fur, creating a dramatic portrait that feels both modern and primal. This original piece reflects Hope Blakely’s exploration into scratch art, discovered at the Oklahoma Palooza in 2025 under the guidance of Cindy Makowski. Bold, minimalistic, and powerful, this work is a striking addition for collectors who admire wildlife rendered in fresh, unexpected ways.
