Turmoil
Very excited to announce a new series of paintings I call “Turmoil”. I’ll be starting with about 8 nautical themed works all roughly the same size, 8”x10”. Focusing on the power and freedom of the ocean, the dangers involved with that freedom, and the unrelenting natural draw mankind has to the sea, I aim to capture the turbulent waves and the souls of those braving them.I will be drawing from my experiences of growing up in a family of professional/commercial fishermen and spending much of my childhood either on a boat, in the water, or hearing stories of dad’s adventures,...

Playing with the drastically different environment of an underwater scene was a blast, presenting new challenges and textures I haven’t considered before.Further solidifying the development of my personifications of the natural unknown and legendary creatures, this fourth entry thrusts us into the coastal kelp forests of the pacific. These magical and dangerous waters hold a wide assortment of animal life amongst the labyrinth of fleshy green ropes. Most of which I am very familiar with, having grown up in the area, but a certain primal fear...
