About this artwork
A bald eagle crosses the frame with its wings fully open, primary feathers spread like fingers at the tips. Its white head and tail glow against the dark plumage, and its hooked beak and pale eye are sharply drawn. Behind it, thick storm cloud churns in shades of charcoal and smoke, with a little light breaking through on the right.
"Rise Above" is set below the bird in silver capitals over two lines, followed by a gold rule and the short italic line "Eagles don't flock." The eagle flies to the right, into the lighter sky, which gives the composition direction and lift. This eagle wall art has a confident, solitary character, suited to anyone who works best on their own terms, whether a founder, freelancer or student striking out alone. It hangs well on a wide wall where the wingspan has room.
About the Quote
"Eagles don't flock" is often attributed to the American businessman H. Ross Perot, usually in a longer form about having to find eagles one at a time. As natural history it is loose, since bald eagles do gather in numbers at good winter feeding sites, but as a metaphor it stands for independence and high standards. "Rise Above" adds the action: lift your perspective above the noise, the doubt and the easy option.

Questions & answers
Who said "Eagles don't flock"?
It is often attributed to Ross Perot, the American businessman and former presidential candidate, though the exact source is not well documented. It is now a common saying in business and leadership circles.
What kind of eagle is shown?
A bald eagle, recognisable by its white head and tail, heavy hooked beak and dark body feathers, shown with its wings at full stretch against a stormy sky.
Is a frame included?
Only if you choose a framed format. The Natural Wood Frame and Black Metal Frame options arrive assembled with acrylic glazing and are ready to hang. The Unframed Art Print arrives without a frame, and the Aluminium and Wood Prints need no frame at all.
Which size should I choose?
As a rule of thumb, choose art about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. 50 × 70 cm makes a statement above a sofa or bed, 30 × 40 cm suits shelves, desks and gallery walls. Our size guide shows every size to scale.
How is my print made and shipped?
