Majestic. Endangered. Essential.

This watercolor honors the quiet power of the whale shark, the largest fish in the ocean. Surrounded by Galápagos sharks and schooling fish, its presence commands the scene—revealing its immense scale and reminding us of the vital role apex predators play in ocean health.

Set against a textured turquoise background, the piece evokes the movement and depth of the sea. The pattern was created using plastic wrap—a technique I love for its organic effect and its symbolic message. Plastic is one of the most pressing threats to our oceans, yet here, it becomes part of the storytelling.

This artwork is a celebration, not a warning. Guardian of the Deep invites you to fall in love with the ocean’s giants—and to become part of the movement to protect them.

Every purchase helps support ocean conservation efforts.

Whale Shark Conservation Notes: Whale sharks are endangered, largely due to finning, bycatch, vessel strikes, and the demand for their meat and liver oil. These gentle filter-feeders are slow to reproduce, making them especially vulnerable. As plankton-eaters, they help regulate food webs and support marine biodiversity—making their protection critical to a healthy ocean.
