The Orca – Animal Series – Acrylic Painting

✨ The Animal Series was created during a reflective drive through ancestral Washoe lands near Lake Tahoe. Each vision revealed the sacred animals of the region and their messages to the spirit.

🌊 The Orca – painted by Washoe artisan Rev. Dr. Jackie Cope – is often called the guardian of the deep, representing family bonds, strength, and spiritual communication. In Washoe belief, water connects all life; it remembers, carries, and heals. This painting captures the eternal flow between the human heart and ancestral memory.

🌸 Painted on a flat canvas using acrylic paints, 8in x 10in, this piece radiates emotional depth and grounding energy. Ideal for meditation spaces, spiritual rooms, or collectors of Indigenous fine art who honor balance, family, and connection.
