“The first time I saw the ocean, I was greeted by an endless stream of shells. All free, all for me, no limited supply. I was inspired and elated. I’d comb through them and lose time. It’s also how I feel about the people I see at the beach. In creating this painting I tried to capture my own early feelings about there being no beginning or end, no start or stop, so much variety and activity without limits. The beach is a place to explore. To think. To not think. Swim or don’t. Read or sleep. Tan or burn. Float or surf. Laugh or cry. Find a creature. Lose a creature. It invites you to wander. To wonder. To come back.”
