"Underwater Light" is aptly named. I created it to give the impression of streams of light peeking through choppy tropical waters. I worked in layers (each needing to set 72 hours) for a depth of field that lets you feel like you are underwater looking at the sun. As a special treat for the owner of this piece, I used a phosphorescent pigment in one layer for the streams of light. This layer becomes visible only in the dark. It is a light blue that looks magnificent! The top layer has dappled light through the water that you really have to see in person because cameras just don't capture it the way a human eye does. Poplar / Birch Wood Panel lacquered sides Ready to Hang Comes with a Signed Certificate of Authenticity What is Resin? Resin is kind of like a liquid glass. You may have heard it referred to as epoxy. Resin Artistry is a demanding but exhilarating art form. It is punishing but blissful. With just an hour of worktime, I must use every hard wrought lesson to perfect the pigmented resin I pour. I use surfboard crafting pigments, India Inks, powder pigments and more for the varying hues. Then, I grab a heat-based tool, like my blow torch and manipulate the poured layers from there. The same process that gets you a gorgeously decorated surfboard is what gets you these paintings. As a former surfer, I find myself ever eager to recapture those fleeting moments in the surf in resin.

I'm eternally in awe of not just the beauty that exists in nature but the laws that govern that beauty. The same laws that captivate us with a sprawling sunset (something quite large, also beguile us with the magnificence of a nebula (something mind-boggling huge) or with the inner structure of the cells in a leaf (something quite small). There is a beauty that belies itself as chaos all around us. I work in resin for this very reason. As I pour and manipulate the thick liquid resin, for a moment in time I experience, like a fleeting sunset, the beauty that the laws of physics creates on the canvas, just before it disappears and reinvents itself, settling on the final outcome of the painting. As a former surfer, this reminds me of lying on the board in the water and catching a glimpse of a never to be replicated moment where a small wave peaks and crests and water foams about only to disappear. I want to capture moments tied in their core to nature on a canvas. Resin lets me freeze those moments in time.
