There is something so magical about being on the beach. The smell of the sand and the ocean makes me smile. I am truly at "Peace" when I am on the beach, and photographing models and painting them has been my absolute joy throughout my career. I love the late afternoon light when the sun has warmed the wet sand at low tide. The reflections of the models and the colors on the grey sand bring my paintings to life. Each new season brings me back to the beaches with new ideas and new exciting paintings.
