The Storm is Coming
All of my life I have lived on the coast of California and it is from here that I witness the storms. The real-life weather related ones, with the high winds, rain and tumultuous surf. And it is also the place where I have weathered my own personal storms. The kind that seem to come out of nowhere and aren’t as comfortable as the sunny summer days where life feels mostly lighter and more carefree.
Through these difficult times in life I have always sought the refuge of the ocean. When I’m the most consumed with despair, I will drive to the ocean-side and take comfort in the waves coming in and going back out. They don’t stop, they will never stop. There is comfort in knowing that the ocean is mighty and dependable, and that time will move on - but the ocean is always there, waves crashing in and back out.

12 x 12 inches
Acrylic and Mixed Media on deep Cradled Panel
The blues are deep and unwavering, in cools such as Paynes Gray and Cerulean. The warmth comes from washes in sepia and umber, along with marks in orange watercolor stick. The movement and energy comes through in the white lines, scratched through paint and the hurried pencil marks.

I use high quality, professional grade acrylic paints and mediums, oil sticks, as well as top quality substrates and acid free paper. I make most of my own collage papers using the same paints as the final paintings. If there is vintage collage, it will be layered over with protective UV mediums to ensure the color stays as true as possible. However, the natural aging of the vintage papers is to be appreciated for its imperfect beauty.
Each painting receives an isolation coat prior to a wax finish, or UV varnish in matte, satin, or a combination of both. Cradled panels will be finished in a polyurethane or hand-painted to showcase the art. Frames are finished in a poly finish as well, or hand-painted and will be described as such under Description.
All artwork comes ready to hang with d-rings, coated wire and is signed on the front and/or the back. Each piece also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
