My latest collection of paintings was born out of my love and admiration of the Pacific Ocean. I find this majestic sea both serene and chaotic at once. The calming sound of waves continually crashing on the shore is juxtaposed by their sheer strength and power, above and below the surface.

Coral reefs are among the greatest natural wonders of the world. They come in a seemingly infinite array of shapes and colors and teem with life. These qualities gave me the freedom to experiment with abstract graphic elements and a strong color palette helped me capture their amazing beauty.
