"The Wrath of What Lies Beneath" 2022 - By Dakota Daetwiler
Dakota painted this in April of 2022. It is a continuation piece of her other work "What Lies Beneath." She painted this octopus to signify the wrath of mother nature taking back the planet from humans. The symbols on the tentacles are Runes, and they tell a story of birth, intuition, violence, greed, lust, and then the wrath of God. This piece has many meanings and can be interpreted many ways, or just enjoyed as the beautiful painting that it is.

Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks.
