I clearly remember the first time I saw the ocean as a child. I struggled to grasp the vastness straining to see land on the other side. In my paintings, I explore capturing the memory and mood of the ocean. Painting realistic scenes allows me to step into a memory using brush strokes inspired by impressionists to capture the mood and environment. These approaches invite the viewer to recall their own memories of the ocean.
