The Open Skies collection is an ongoing series created alongside my Big Fish paintings, inspired by a photograph of my daughter, Marin, standing on a paddleboard in my old hometown of Key West. Brilliant blue sky above, emerald-green water below, and a horizon of mangrove islands set the tone for these expansive seascapes and landscapes. Drawing on years of pour painting experience, I now use those fluid techniques to capture the color, movement, and freedom of the open water and sky.”
