"Faded Sea", the culminating exhibition of an open call to New York Artist Circle (NYAC) members (more below), is an evocative exploration of the fragile beauty and imminent dangers facing our oceans, rivers, lakes, and other waterways. I’m proud to exhibit my work alongside artists who, through their profound connection to water, seek to galvanize action in the face of climate change, revealing both the splendor and the devastation wrought upon our planet.
"Faded Sea" is a call to action, a reminder that our most precious natural resource—water—is vulnerable. Offering a first impression of serenity, this exhibition can also be seen as an elegy for the seas that are fading away, a poignant reminder of the vast, incomprehensible role water plays in our existence, and a plea to recognize the vital necessity to preserve it. The living beauty of our water bodies, from the glacial coastlines of Alaska to the marshes and wetlands threatened by rising seas, is worth fighting for. This exhibition serves as both a requiem for what is lost and a testament to what still remains—an urgent appeal to protect the delicate balance of our planet before it fades into memory.
My painting “Bud 13” celebrates connection with life beneath the waves. Jellyfish, glowing from within, remind us of our shared life force. Their movements echo breath, living blooms of beauty and fragility. Recognizing our vast kinship with life empowers us to influence a better outcome for our climate-threatened planet—protecting life's beauty.
