About This Collection:
"Waves of Summer"
The salt is no longer on the skin, and I can’t hear the ocean sounds. Some moments pass quickly, yet stay with us for a long time, like glints drifting across breathing waves.
These paintings are Inspired by my summer on Vancouver Island, 2025. I didn’t try to tell the full story of the sea this time. Instead, I pick out moments like a wave’s breath, a flicker of light, or a slight colour shift in the wave’s shadows. Building the depth and space through softened cobalt blue, viridian gradients and transparent layers. I am using brushstrokes and bands of colour to follow the water’s flow, letting the ripples rise and fall like breathing. I intend to make them closer to the ocean that the body remembers.
