Original Painting

11” x 14” unframed

Tide pools always feel otherworldly to me. I feel so huge compared to the infinite species coexisting in the ecosystem below my feet but then you look out at the vast ocean and are reminded you’re just a tiny speck of dust on a floating rock in a huge galaxy. I love the play of scale and the similarities between the macro and micro. This optical illusion dances by pushing and pulling on reality like the waves washing back and forth. I love the color combinations of the barnacles, amebas, and creatures mingling together in the saltwater. .
