Ocean Botanica

$2,500.00

Inspired by the sculptural beauty of kelp, this painting explores the organic shapes and graceful movement of underwater plant life.

I was drawn to the way kelp grows and twists, creating an intricate arrangement of leaves, stems and seed-like forms. I wanted to simplify these natural structures into a composition of sweeping curves and overlapping shapes, allowing the forms to become almost abstract.

The contrast between the vibrant turquoise blue and layered olive and golden greens creates a sense of depth and light. I love the unexpected color relationships and the quiet rhythm of these beautiful coastal forms.
