Sharing a bit of my process in making my diving experiences more tangible. I've taken much inspiration from almost all my dives and if I don't have a photo or video from the dive, my memories and impressions from those dives are also part of my process in making art.
Google the best shore diving in the world and it's a given that Bonaire will be in the top five of all those lists and for good reason - the reef that surrounds the entire island is one of the healthiest unbroken strips of coral reef I've ever seen and when I got home, I had plenty of inspiration for more paintings!
Sometimes the process of making the art is even more exciting than the actual finished piece. Almost. Yes - there's a sense of accomplishment in finishing the work but bringing it into being is magical. Here's a glimpse into my latest work in progress.
Some people have their head in the clouds. I have my head underwater. It's always on my mind. My art and my love of scuba diving are coming together organically in my recent work.
