A huge thank you to everyone who attended my art e A huge thank you to everyone who attended my art exhibition and to those who shared kind wishes, likes, and comments. My studio mate, Lindsay Macmillan, and I enjoyed making meaningful connections with many of you who could join us. Special thanks to James Bishop who has been incredibly generous with his help. Everyone’s support has been overwhelming, and I’m so grateful! Oceanic Mindfulness: Sensing the Sea has truly resonated with so many, and it was an honor to be voted people’s choice artist with Mobi by Rogers. 
For those of you who are still considering adding a piece to your collection, now is the time—there are a few paintings left! Each work captures a connection with the sea, and I’d love for you to find one that speaks to you. I’m also showcasing my other new work.
