Orca Playing in The Kelp Forest
$200
Starting bid
This artwork beautifully portrays the playful elegance of an orca weaving through the vibrant kelp forest, a dynamic interaction that highlights their intelligence and connection to these underwater ecosystems. Orcas are known to interact with kelp in unique ways, from using it for playful behavior to navigating their aquatic habitat. The kelp forest, with its swaying fronds, serves as both a playground and a vital part of the marine ecosystem, offering shelter and resources to countless species.
The hand-drawn patterns on the orca reflect the fluidity of the ocean, while the warm, earthy tones of the kelp contrast beautifully with the tranquil blues of the water.
“Regularly priced at $445 from the artist.”
Picture Dimension 19 ¾” x 27 ¼ ”
Picture with frame Dimension 24″ x 36″
“Please note that frames are not included. If you’d like a framing suggestion, the IKEA RODOLM frame (24" × 36", black) is available for $24.99, or you may choose any frame with matching dimensions.”

Serenity Below: Watching a Humpback Whale Called "Fran"
$200
Starting bid
This piece is a heartfelt tribute to Fran, the iconic humpback whale tragically lost to a ship strike in 2022. Born in 2005, Fran was celebrated as California’s most recognized humpback whale, with 277 sightings documented in the Happywhale database. She was a frequent visitor to the Monterey Bay Area, captivating all who encountered her with her majestic presence and serving as a symbol of marine beauty and resilience.
The artwork is created using my unique style, which begins with intricate hand-drawn patterns that capture the fluidity and organic forms of nature. These lines are inspired by the movement and rhythm of the ocean, often evoking the undulating patterns of whale sound spectrograms. Once the drawing is complete, I digitally enhance it with vibrant, harmonious colors to bring depth and emotion to the piece. This fusion of traditional and digital techniques allows me to convey the dynamic energy of the ocean and the life it holds.
In this tribute to Fran, the bold, flowing shapes mirror the grace of her movements through the water, while the vivid colors celebrate her life and the awe she inspired. At the same time, the artwork serves as a reminder of the pressing need to protect marine life and raise awareness about the impacts of human activity on these incredible creatures. Through art, we can honor Fran’s legacy and ignite conversations about the urgent need for conservation efforts.
