This piece is part of my ongoing Beaches Series—an abstract exploration of color theory, composition, and the lively activity of a day spent seaside.
I paint these pieces from memory and feeling, working intuitively to capture the light, texture, and movement I experience along the coastline. This series allows me to translate the ephemeral beauty of the beach into soft yet striking compositions that feel both grounded and dreamlike.
