"Two Cattlemen"

Limited Edition Print- 44" x 55.5"

by Connor Liljestrom

"Two Cattlemen is a reference to the livestock versus native predator issue. This is an ongoing conversation in the West between ranchers and environmentalists and the desire by both sides to find an equitable balance. It provides a platform to consider the impacts humans have on the native ecosystems and different viewpoints in addressing those issues. We are inhabiting once wild spaces and are needing to consider issues from many facets."

- Connor Liljestrom, artist
