Humpback Whale Weathervane by Karen Melody Green, Copper Sculpture, 84cm high × 31cm wide

Karen Melody Green creates a weathervane that doubles as a powerful sculpture. At its peak, a humpback whale swims with its tail lifted and long pectoral fins spread wide, as if steering through open water. The pose captures the whale’s natural grace and strength, giving the piece a sense of motion and vitality.

Green works in copper, a material that carries both tradition and character. She shapes the surface to reveal rich brown tones that shift with the light, while the natural patina deepens over time. This evolving finish ensures the sculpture never feels static, it continues to grow and change, much like the living ocean it represents.

Green’s attention to detail grounds the piece in realism, yet her design elevates it beyond representation. She captures not just the whale’s shape, but its quiet majesty. The weathervane brings together art and environment, sea and sky, reminding us of nature’s rhythms and the enduring connection between creature, water, and wind.
