Discover Guardian Angel, a striking example of copper wind sculpture artistry by renowned kinetic sculptor Lyman Whitaker. This elegant piece captures movement and light in a way that transforms any outdoor setting, creating a serene yet captivating visual experience. Designed to shimmer and sway with every breeze, Guardian Angel reflects Whitaker’s unmatched craftsmanship and his ability to harmonize art with the natural elements.
The Sierra Nevada region, with its white beaches, lush greenery, and clear mountain waters, draws visitors to Lake Tahoe year after year. At the heart of South Lake Tahoe’s art scene, Marcus Ashley Gallery stands as a focal point for collectors and admirers alike. At the gallery’s entrance, Whitaker’s wind sculptures greet guests with their graceful motion, offering a first glimpse into decades of artistic mastery.
Guardian angels have long been seen as protectors—not just of individuals, but of nations and communities. The belief traces back to ancient traditions, where such beings were symbols of guidance, safety, and hope. Whitaker’s Guardian Angel embodies this timeless concept, presenting a kinetic sculpture with wing-like forms that seem to float and turn in the wind. Crafted from hand-shaped copper with a rich green patina, its motion evokes the comforting presence of a guardian watching over its surroundings.
Perfect for gardens, open fields, desert landscapes, or coastal properties, Guardian Angel brings a calming yet powerful presence to any outdoor space. Each Lyman Whitaker sculpture is individually handcrafted in the artist’s Utah studio using durable, weather-resistant metals and shipped directly through Marcus Ashley Gallery, ready for easy installation.
