Collection: Call of the Water

Original Plein-Air oil paintings capturing the ancient bond between human and nature. A journey through the Sierra Nevadas in search of myself.

Water holds an immense power. The ability to mesmerize through a glassy lake or soothe through the rocking rhythm of the ocean. Like an enchanting lullaby, it melts away your woes and allows you to feel the present moment. It offers a moment of clarity; an opportunity to reflect. Gazing upon the endless blue, anything is possible. Like the moon pulling the tides, I felt the call of water stronger than ever before. I didn't know why, or when, or how, but I knew this was something I had to do. After months of preparation, and a little blind faith, I packed up my car and my easel and set off to the mountains.  

Each painting holds elements from a sacred place that called to me, encapsulating the mystifying bond between human and nature in between layers of pigment and paint. Breeze from the sea, salt from the earth, and whispers from the wind crystallized through each brushstroke into a portal; a window into this magical moment, transcending space and time. 

These waters empowered me with the strength to find myself again.

In a time when I felt lost, I knew I would find my way by answering the call of the water. 

What does the water call out to you?

Will you answer it?
