“Guardian” captures a tender moment of connection between humanity and nature. This striking mixed-media artwork radiates warmth and care, with a luminous female figure symbolizing protection and nurturing. Accompanied by a serene goat and a gentle duckling, this piece evokes themes of guardianship, innocence, and unity. The surrounding delicate botanical illustrations, including apples and blossoms, serve as a reminder of the harmony and abundance that comes from respecting and cherishing all life forms.

Part of Angela Jane Lavender’s “Less Meat” series, this artwork calls attention to the beauty of coexistence and the impact of mindful choices on the natural world.
