Yellowfin12x24, Acrylic & Ink on Maple Panel, Black Walnut Frame, 2025 This piece centers on a yellowfin tunasleek, powerful, and built for endless motionset against a hand drawn, cellular pattern that echoes currents, reefs, and unseen systems beneath the surface. The fish is rendered with careful realism, while the surrounding pattern slows the eye, creating a tension between speed and stillness. Painted in ancrylic and layered with detailed hand drawing,

They occupy the air

and symbolism

creating a perfect harmony between movement and stillness

Once the foundational elements are complete

which has continued in the years since

I am eternally grateful to both of these influences in my life

The fins are the same and yet opposite and both under the same blue sun

Hand-embellished with intricate linework and a unique design

The vine is exploring all possible paths

creating a striking contrast and a sense of motion

and bright

and the quiet reverence found in the natural world
