Painting the Ocean After Dark
At night, the ocean doesn't change. But I do. With no light to guide you, you're not just seeing anymore. You are feeling, listening, reacting. This seascape is a painting of the ocean after sunset, during what I call the limbo hours. That is when the world slows down and shadows become part of the art process itself.
When Art Meets Environmental Reality. Painting the Plastic Tide.

“To Say the Storm” is an abstract seascape shaped by memory, fire, and change. It captures what the Pacific feels like after wildfire smoke, runoff, and the loss of my longtime art studio in Pacific Palisades. The painting is all built with thick oil of the ocean and sky.
Harmony in the Tides. My Tidepool Adventure
Have you ever noticed how the ocean's tide cycles mimic life? Low tide brings solitude, when everything is calm and the tidepools sit quietly under the sun.
