Leo, the Steele Lion No. 2
The Story: The sculptor, Anna Vaugh Hyatt, modeled this lion from sketches of a black lion named “Sultan” from the Bronx Zoo at the turn of the 19th century. With $300 in nickels from Steele High School students, the artist went to Naples Italy to supervise its 1907 casting as the new mascot. The school proudly placed the sculpture outside their school at the corner of Main and Monument in 1909. The infamous 1913 flood destroyed the sculpture’s pedestal knocking the lion to the ground. Undeterred, the school rebuilt the monument a year later. With the school closed, the Dayton Board of Education loaned the mascot to the Dayton Art Institute in 1955 where it now watches over the Dayton Skyline

Framed Giclee Canvas Prints
My canvas prints originate from the highest quality equipment and techniques which produce an impressively vibrant and sturdy print. Features of My Framed Giclee Canvas Prints include:
- Light Weight: Lacking the need of glass and matting, these canvas prints are light weight
- More Print for Your Money: Avoiding expensive glass and matting lowers costs
- Archival: The pigment inks are archival rated at 95 years
- No Gallery-wrapped Hazards: My framed giclee canvas prints avoid the hazards of traditional gallery wrapped canvas prints (print edges easily mar and the canvas tends to relax and warp). My canvas is mounted to a solid surface so it will never warp and the outer frame protects the print’s edges.
- Ready to Hang. Your canvas print comes ready to hang with single wire fastened to two sturdy D-ring hangers (quality D-rings resist wire tension vice eye hooks). We employ a plastic-coated wire which mitigates corrosion, prevents stray strands from puncturing a finger, and permits easier leveling of frame. In paying attention to details, we also properly wire frame with some tension which ensures canvas hangs close to wall.
- Optional Z-bar: For larger prints (if requested), we employ a two-piece mounting cleat in lieu of a hanging wire. In this option, the cleat attached to the back of the print fits securely over the reverse cleat that you attached to the wall.
- Watermark: The final print you receive will not have a watermark.
- Documentation: I attached a certificate of authenticity to the back of each print.
- Large Canvas Prints: Though I can produce prints up to 40 x 60 inches, shipping in sizes 30 x 45 inches and above is expensive. If you live in the Miami Valley, reach out to me about obtaining access to these larger print sizes.
- Shipping Times: Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up. For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated boxes and shipping takes an additional 3 to 5 days.
Photopaper Prints
People are amazed by these metal prints…from the reactions I witness at art shows and exhibitions, I call them “eye candy”. Dye sublimation prints offer the following characteristics:
- Archival: Our printer employs verified archival materials, where the pigments are rated at 95 years provided the print is protected from UV Rays.
- Flexibility: Ordering a print on photopaper allows clients to make their own framing and matting decisions for the ultimate customization experience.
- Watermark: The final print you receive will not have a watermark.
- Documentation: I include a certificate of authenticity with each print. Once you frame the print, your framer can attach it to the rear of the print.
- Final Product: I have dedicated shipping tubes to hold the print until your framer is ready to mount and frame the print.
- Shipping Times: Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up. For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated shipping tubes which take an additional 3 to 5 days for shipping.
