This series is an exploration of water, how being near and being of the water impacts my state of being. As the water’s reflections mirror its surroundings, my art is a reflection of the experience I have on the water.
Research shows that time near the water has an impact on our mood and perceptions; sense of time expands, our senses sharpen, and the gateway into the mystic opens. I seek to share these qualities, infusing my paintings with the mystery, awe, serenity, and heightened awareness I feel on the water. My paintings reflect both the physical challenges experienced while kayaking as well as the artistic challenges of capturing the force, movement and light on the currents.
