The Hammerhead Paintings emerged on Christmas Day in 2025 at the tail-end of three self-led residencies in Baja California Sur. As a working artist in NYC since 2014 and new diver, I've been reconnected with the element I love most--water. After finding myself surrounded by hundreds of baby hammerheads, something long needing to be expressed did emerge, and the hammerhead motif has become both a mythic and intuitive symbol for me.

Using archival ink and a variety of papers, each hammerhead is unique, carrying a bit of the spirit of the Sea of Cortez.
