Description of the Artwork “Depths of Cyan”
I worked with resin, a blowtorch, and various pigments to create "Depths of Cyan." I wanted to capture the point of confluence in ocean waters that crash into each other and exist only for a moment before disappearing. The deep blues rush in and out towards each other highlighted with soft mingling whites and golds. It is truly a relaxing and intriguing place to let your eyes linger.

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.
