marine life abstract realism

With the deep blue sea as my muse, the dynamic of order, chaos, and the space between is the impetus of my work.  To amplify this potent trinity, I incorporate studies in color theory and the effects that light and underwater depth have on color. 

My medium is acrylics, where I create meticulous drawings of marine life abstractions, then using the translucent properties of the medium, I layer color, shape and pattern to construct a trifold of backgrounds (back, middle, front), to visualize shapes, forms, structures and geometries not yet discovered but made possible to realize.
