Coral Triptych Painting

When outdoor passions and artistic endeavors converge, the canvas is as vast as the wilderness, and the melodies of nature compose your symphony. Born from a lineage of campfire tales, fishing stories, and strokes of creative genius, my artistic odyssey unfurls against the backdrop of the great outdoors. Brought up by parents who painted their dreams onto canvases and sculpted life from blocks of wood, my artistic roots ran deep, intertwining with the very earth that cradled our family's adventures. A harmonious blend of nature's wonders and artistic expression, my upbringing was a masterpiece in the making. Among my siblings, each a virtuoso in their own right, I discovered my own artistic resonance. Drawing was my language, a constant companion through the tapestry of my youth. A serendipitous encounter with rocks and minerals unlocked a kaleidoscope of colors, transforming my visions into vibrant realities. Coastal Florida was my playground, where waves whispered secrets and fishing lines danced in rhythm with the tides. The waves of the North Shore of Oahu became my sanctuary, a haven for creativity to flourish. It was here that the strokes of my paintbrush and the curves of surfboards became extensions of my soul, capturing the essence of the sea in every stroke. Venturing into Northern California's rugged embrace, I traversed coastal mountains and harvested the earth's bounty, a journey that transcended legality and traversed into the realm of adventure. As my feet navigated the diverse landscapes, my heart absorbed the myriad hues of the sea, its reefs, and the enigmatic tide pools that held whispers of untold stories. From the rocky coves of Santa Cruz to the untamed wilderness of the Lost Coast, I gleaned inspiration from the rugged contours of the land and the ever-changing caress of the ocean. Each stroke of my brush, every note that echoed from my musical endeavors, paid homage to the untamed beauty that cradled my growth as an artist. Join me my visual quest, where the mysterious shapes and forms below the tide line are like the abstract totems of coastal tribes, and stories are told of raw tropical coastlines
