Whale Tails and Heartfelt Sculptures | Montpelier News

In the quiet town of Randolph, Vermont, two giant whale tails rise from the earth — a whimsical, dream-inspired sculpture by local artist Jim Sardonis that’s become a beloved roadside attraction. But his art runs deeper than playful imagery: each piece, from the joyful “Father and Son” hippos to the hauntingly beautiful “Vermont Family,” reflects pivotal moments in his life — including the birth of his son, the loss of his father, and the devastating grief of losing his unborn daughter, Leah. Through sculpture, Sardonis transforms sorrow into solace and joy into legacy, proving that art doesn’t just decorate landscapes — it heals hearts and reminds us of life’s fragile, beautiful impermanence.
