Oceans & Birds
Oceans for me represent birth and life. Shifting tides and waves are the rhythm and challenges of life. Its depth represents the potential, the un-manifested, and the nature of essence and awareness. I find peace and inspiration gazing at the sea. The oceans I have painted are inspired by the Caribbean in Varadero Beach, sea wall in Havana port and Aruba, the Gulf in Captiva, the Pacific in Nantucket.
We go to Captiva Island often, that is my happy place, I delight in communing with the incredible variety of birds there. I was fortunate to be able spend extended time observing and being with the birds I painted. I identify with their wise eyes, functional beaks, powerful wings, and funny looking legs.
