Description
Mixed media on panel, 22 x 42 inches (55.9 x 106.7 cm). Each panel 11 x 14 inches (27.9 x 35.6 cm).
From the Artist:
"Rainbow Coral Belief" is a 6 piece mixed media on panel from my Coral Reef series, measuring 11 x 14 inches each and 22 x 42 inches as a full set. This piece was made as an ode to my 85-foot long "Coral Beliefs" work that was shown at a museum in Ohio in 2024. This series is deeply personal—it brings together my love for the ocean, my experience as a diver, and my commitment to protecting the planet. Coral reefs, with all their color, movement, and delicate balance, have become the language I use to express both wonder and urgency. Using a mix of watercolor, oil, acrylic, collage, and even bits of plastic, I’ve developed a process that feels just as layered and fragile as the reefs themselves. The textures and forms mimic not only the beauty of these ecosystems but also the debris and disruption they face. I’m always experimenting—letting materials interact in unexpected ways to reflect both the fluidity of water and the impact of climate change.
