Over the last several years I have departed from the tradition of seascape painting and zoomed in on the water itself. The chaotic seeming activity within the forms of turbulence seemed new and exciting to me, but I also recognized their origins in the studies of Leonardo da Vinci. I was inspired to take these foamy elements further out of the context of naturalism by sometimes giving them a darkened stage presence thus heightening the potential drama of water and its primal importance as a substance. Also, my experience as a surfer has given me first-hand knowledge of the ways of water - especially its dangerous beauty
