"Sea Foam"

A wash of texture and quiet light, this painting invites the viewer into a small, private dream. Sometimes the sea sparkles. I dream of turquoise blue waters with gentle waves and soft foam. I think I might become a mermaid. Layers of paint and tactile marks map memory and longing—shoreline sensations, the hush after a wave pulls back, the steady pulse of breath and tide. Hints of turquoise and pearl flicker through muted fields, suggesting both oceanic escape and the gentle persistence of hope. Built from lived experience, the work balances vulnerability with resilience, offering a moment of reverie that lingers like salt on the skin.
