The story:
I’ve fallen in love with this piece instantly. It was painted from a space of deep gratitude for the ocean and all it’s given me. I’ve always found so much healing from the sea, and over the past two years especially so has my husband. We had a challenging journey adjusting into parenthood. Who knew such an enormous amount of love and devotion could also be so damn hard. To clear his mind and find his peace again my husband went underwater. We bought a boat and he began spear fishing. He found his bliss here, a place truly away from it all, completely foreign with endless exploration. A place he connected with on a primal sense, to hunt and gather and provide fresh food for us and meditation for him. His whole being came back home it seemed. Such a peaceful and beautiful man and I’m so grateful the ocean helped him find his way back to himself, just as it has done for me my entire life.
So this piece, a homage to the ocean I guess my way of expressing gratitude on canvas, for the ocean and the millions of ways it has healed me over my life.
