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 Hilda 
Hilda the Humpback Whale lives in cycles of gathering strength, crossing oceans, and returning to warm waters where new life begins. Female humpbacks carry an incredible resilience — they migrate thousands of kilometers, give birth in sheltered bays, and guide their calves through the longest journey of their lives.
 
Hilda reminds you that you can move slowly, rest deeply, and still carry the wisdom of your ancestors and your entire timeline with you — past, present, and future — in every choice you make. She holds the truth that you don’t have to rush to be powerful. You can move at your own pace and still arrive exactly where you’re meant to be.
