Limited Edition 3D Portal Paintings / "Guardians of the Sea" Collection

Each Guardian lives on a seasoned slab of jack pine my dad cut over a decade ago, originally intended for clocks. I’ve turned them into timeless ocean portals. Each one is sculpted in clay, painted with acrylic, and finished by hand. They’re warm, sturdy, and full of character from the wood itself. Every piece is unique, and each one comes ready to hang.
Approximate size: 10" x 15" x 2" 
 
Meet Gertrude 
Gertrude is intuitive, brilliant, and deeply relational. Giant Pacific octopuses have eight brains and three hearts, and she uses every bit of that intelligence to explore, adapt, and form bonds with the world around her. Female octopuses spend their whole lives learning and discovering, then pour everything they have into protecting the life they create.
 
Gertrude represents the quiet genius inside you — the part that knows when to retreat and recharge, when to adventure into the unknown, and when to wrap your whole self around what matters most.
