ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Leviathan is an abstract and colorful wall relief by artist Ellen Steinfeld. A whale swimming in the ocean inspired her layered composition. The energetic forms also reference plants and geological elements. She notes, "It represents nature and hopefully the ecological balance of the oceans, fish and plant life."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Central Kitsap School District.
