Created during the Lion’s Gate portal, this piece is inspired by the sacred energy of the White Lion — a symbol of courage, purity, heart-led strength and divine protection.

For Victoria, it holds the frequency of soft power: a reminder to stay grounded, open-hearted and connected to the light within.

The intention

Soft power.
Open heart.

White Lions appear throughout the composition alongside Archangel Raphael, green and pink hand-painted shells, natural sea forms and small affirmations of healing, peace and courage.

The work holds both strength and softness: quiet courage, grounded presence and protection without closing the heart.

Look closer

Made shell
by shell.

Natural shells are individually painted, layered and gilded by hand, allowing texture, rhythm and small symbolic details to emerge across the surface.

Seen close up, each shell becomes a tiny artwork in its own right.

In a space

Art made to live with.

The scale, colour and sculptural shell texture give this piece presence without losing the calm, collected feeling that runs through Victoria's coastal work.
