A painting born from a dream.

Earlier this year, I traveled to Southeast Asia with a single goal: to swim with whale sharks. I got my wish... and more. I saw many, but there's nothing like getting in the water and seeing that galaxy of spots emerge from the blue depths for the first time. And I found my heart overflowing with joy.

"Found My Heart Among Giants" is the watercolor story of that moment, a whimsical tribute to these majestic creatures and the constellations they paint across the ocean. Flowing with vibrant color and shimmering textures created using real sea salt, this artwork captures the peaceful presence of a whale shark, complete with a hidden heart in its spot pattern.

Fun facts: Whale sharks are the largest shark species on Earth, sometimes growing over 30 feet long, yet they feed only on tiny plankton and krill. Their gentle nature is legendary. And each one is unique: just like human fingerprints, their spot patterns are used by scientists to identify individuals.

This painting is for the dreamers, the divers, the marine wildlife lovers. Whether you’ve seen one in person or it’s still on your list, may this artwork bring a little piece of the ocean’s magic into your space, and remind you that some dreams are absolutely worth chasing.

About the artist...

"My work is rooted in a lifetime spent outdoors, first as a kid climbing mountains in Colorado, then as a field ecologist working in Alaska, New Zealand, and East Africa. Those years of fieldwork completely shaped how I see the natural world and what I choose to paint.
I translate that time in the wild onto the page, using rich watercolor layers and vibrant color to capture landscapes as I actually experienced them, alive, layered, full of things worth noticing if you slow down. Hidden within many pieces are wildlife elements waiting to be discovered, a small reward for looking closely. It is expressive, eco-conscious art made for anyone who feels most like themselves outdoors."
Jenny's work has been featured by NPR, Outside Magazine, USA Today, the Denver Post, and POLITICO. Ten percent of every sale is donated directly to wildlife conservation, and her originals have found homes with collectors across all fifty states and internationally.
