Lotus

Exploring Lake Tahoe’s Heavenly Village is a treat, particularly for those who love boutique stores and eclectic eateries. Venture further into the neighborhood, and you’ll arrive at the Marcus Ashley Gallery, where you’ll be greeted by Lyman Whitaker art, a stunning collection of wind sculptures. The gallery maintains an exceptional space of contemporary and fine art and is the perfect location for art connoisseurs and curious visitors wanting to explore fine exhibits. You’ll find memorabilia and books worth perusing beyond the original paintings, giclee prints, sculptures, figurines, glass art, and woodwork crafts.

The Egyptians believe the Lotus is a symbol of creation and rebirth. They regard the flower as the sun because it closes and retreats underwater by nightfall and emerges at dawn. Whitaker’s Lotus is a mesmerizing blend of petal-shaped metallic elements in copper and blue hues. The beautiful floral sculpture spins gracefully in the wind on its stable base. Place it by a pond, riverside, or water body to amplify its organic, raw beauty.

Whitaker’s pieces are designed to blend with outdoor settings to encourage viewers to appreciate the world’s natural beauty. Every sculpture is handmade from scratch and shipped directly by the artist through the gallery.
