Description
“The Sea Walls- Full Moon Rising” No. 4
“The Sea Walls- Full Moon Rising” No. 4 is an example of post painterly abstract expressionism as the process of paintography that begins in my studio here in Asheville, N.C.. This image evolved from a photo I took of a seawall on the Florida Coast. I later sketched the image, painted it, and decided to do a digital rendering. That is what you see here.
The Story: This is a memorial to the students and teachers of Stoneman Douglas High. As a former teacher at a feeder school for this school, I wanted to create a tribute to teachers and classmates who met the situation with strength despite their vulnerability.
As a former teacher and guidance counselor from Broward County, where the assault took place, I was deeply moved. The photo I had taken of a Florida sea wall seemed to represent the courage and resilience of all involved. came to mind.
This image was honored as a FEATURE

THANK YOU
Symbolism: This stalwart sea wall in conjunction with the flowing ocean symbolizes concurrent strength and vulnerability. As a storyteller, and advocacy artist, contextual value and emotional impact are important to me. In SEA WALLS, in addition to the abstract expression, I combined semi-monochromatic, yet brilliant color, to represent deep emotion. ... Rumi wrote, "The wound is the place where the light enters you.” the experience. Because it is symbolic of change with compassion, it has been called spirit abstract art.
Influences: Often, I like to take from the world around me - clearly and simply- but always I turn to visual narrative. I am drawn to artistic advocacy so that thread of storytelling runs through my work. This series on sea walls is inspired by the works of Paul Klee, particularly his geometric statements. I used a breakwater, the ocean, and a distant horizon as subjects in this contemporary photo-painting... the Klee-inspired geometric shapes, together with fauve flatness, added patterns and texture in a digital manipulation reaching in to present an abstract, stylized presentation.
**This artwork is available in a variety of framed and unframed gallery-quality prints, home décor items such soft and durable duvet covers, fabric shower curtains, and throw pillows as well as greeting cards and weekender totes.
***Grateful for showing your support by liking my work here. thank you.
