ABALONE SEA Painting

Ever since childhood I’ve been fascinated by the sea, loved to explore new places, have adventures and create artwork—from my own imagination as well as from life. I am also a professional dancer and love the ocean for its freedom of movement, infinite moods and boundless expressions- the way it dances with sunlight and wind! When I'm by the ocean I feel such a deep sense of limitless freedom. Its beauty is expressed in a myriad of ways from dark and foreboding, to light, sparkling, joyful and free, to quiet peaceful waves in the hushed hues of dusk. The ocean is powerful, mysterious, ever-changing, and cleansing to both heart and soul to be near. Under the water is a whole other world that beckons to be explored. What light, water, waves, atmosphere, and wind can do together is nothing short of visual magic! As a painter I have all of this to play with, as well as the sea’s stunning transluscence and ability to reflect every beloved color in my artist’s heart. I love to move! To me, the ocean is the ultimate dancer of the elemental world. I hope that when someone buys a painting from me and hangs it on their wall, that they too will be filled with the same sense of wonder, awe, reverence and love that I feel for the sea.
