Painting myself as a sea creature is a return to my younger self – a girl who would channel her inner anguish into darkly-beautiful scenes of strange hybrid-like creatures. This work was created after the most recent of a series of life-changing events, including the passing of my father. 

This is one of several recent works exploring both my inner and outer worlds – my concern for the greater human collective through emotions and symbols rooted in my own childhood. Water is symbolic of deep emotion, and even according to my astrological sign of Pisces, I can have a tendency to feel as though I am thriving and drowning in it all at once. 

In this piece we see a part-human creature of the sea breaching the surface of the water, taking in a full breath of cool night air. The warm glow of the full moon above reaches down to greet her at the surface where the two worlds meet.
