Peek Beyond the Pika – Rocky Mountain Canvas Fine Art Print

A Whimsical View from Rocky Mountain National Park

High in the alpine tundra, where the air is thin and the wild feels close, a small but mighty creature calls out — the pika. Perched on a rocky ledge at Rock Cut Overlook, this playful mountain dweller stands at the heart of Peek Beyond the Pika, a watercolor tribute to the joy of discovery and the delicate balance of mountain ecosystems.

At first glance, it’s the pika who steals the show — flower in mouth, alert and charming. But look again. Hidden among the ridges and wildflowers are elk, bighorn sheep, black bears, and more. Like a visual scavenger hunt, this piece encourages viewers to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with the thrill of spotting wildlife in the wild.

More than just adorable, pikas are known as indicator species — sensitive messengers of climate change whose presence (or absence) tells us volumes about the health of alpine environments. This painting celebrates their importance, while honoring the breathtaking biodiversity of the Rocky Mountains.

From nurseries to cozy cabins to modern nature-inspired homes, Peek Beyond the Pika adds both playfulness and purpose to your space.
