The ocean is a captivating force that has drawn my attention for as long as I can remember. I didn't grow up close to the coast, but my visits to North Carolina's Outerbanks left a lasting impression that has influenced my art. The vastness and power of the sea left me in awe, and the sound and feeling of waves crashing against the shore stirred something within me.
The ocean represents many things to me: freedom, adventure, and a sense of infinite possibility. It's a place where everything else falls away, and all that's left is the rhythm of the tide and the beauty of the natural world. Through my painting, I strive to capture the essence of the ocean and convey the way it makes me feel.
My obsession with painting waves comes naturally as a result of the way the ocean has captured my heart. Each wave is unique and can carry with it a range of emotions and sensations. Painting waves allows me to translate this vastness and intensity onto the canvas, so that others can see and understand what the ocean means to me.
My art is not only about showing the physical appearance of the sea, but rather it's about expressing the energy and movement that flows through it. It's about capturing the vastness and majesty of the ocean, while also acknowledging its unpredictability. When I paint waves, I strive to convey everything that the ocean represents to me: the thrill of adventure, the beauty of the natural world, and the freedom that comes from immersing oneself in the sea's boundless expanse.
