Along the Fault's Edge, You Become the Tide (The Swimmer, Tomales Bay)
2025, oil on canvas, 48 x 36 x 1.5 in unframed
In this painting, the body meets the living surface of Tomales Bay at the hour when day folds into night. The swimmer is held between water reflecting the sky, suspended in that charged in-between. Light fractures across the ripples, breaking into ribbons of molten color that move faster than your eyes can quite track. The swimmer is both still and in motion—upright in the water, yet dissolving into it. With the horizon not in the frame, the world reduces to surface, reflection, sensation.
Tomales Bay sits on the San Andreas Fault, where the earth itself is under constant, unseen tension. Even the water feels like it carries a quiet tremor. The swirling neon currents echo those invisible forces below, hinting that change starts where stability cracks open. The figure isn’t just in the tide; they’re part of it, folded into the same charged energy that reshapes land and body alike.
Rather than a simple portrait, this painting holds the feeling of surrender—of letting yourself drift into what you can’t control, carried by something larger than certainty. It lingers in the moment when boundaries loosen: between self and world, fear and exhilaration, holding on and letting go. When you live with it, it becomes a reminder that transformation often begins right where you finally allow yourself to float.
My work offers collectors more than just an oil painting as a decorative object — it offers a portal.
Each piece is an invitation to reconnect with something primal, timeless, and essential: a sense of wonder, enchantment, and intimacy with the natural world. In a time when modern life often leaves us numb or disconnected, my paintings restore feeling — awakening the senses, stirring memory, and reanimating the quiet magic that lives just beneath the surface of everyday experience.
Using layered translucent oil pigments and fluorescent and inference colors that shift and almost vibrate, I craft dreamlike landscapes where nature and the supernatural meet. These are not imagined places, but remembered ones—I craft narratives across parallel universes where we do less damage to the earth, where we slow down rather than rush, and where we allow ourselves to truly feel.
Collectors are drawn to my work for its ability to transform a space — not only visually, but energetically. Each piece acts as a focal point, a conversation starter, and a reminder of the aliveness that surrounds us. It’s art that doesn’t just hang on the wall, but reaches out — emotionally, spiritually, somatically.
For those seeking artwork that resonates with meaning and mystery, that brings soul and story into a room, my work offers a rare kind of beauty: one that lingers.
