Rainbow Reef 1-24

Acrylic on panel, 44 x 84 inches (111.8 x 213.4 cm). Each panel 11 x 14 inches (27.9 x 35.6 cm). From the Artist: "Rainbow Reef" is a 24 piece vibrant, acrylic on panel work from my Coral Reef series. Each panel measures 11 x 14 inches, but the 24 panel work stands together at 44 x 84 inches. The versatility of a piece is like no other. Of course the pieces can be shown in any formation or group, depending on your design needs. This series is deeply personal—it brings together my love for the ocean, my experience as a diver, and my commitment to protecting the planet. Coral reefs, with all their color, movement, and delicate balance, have become the language I use to express both wonder and urgency. Using a mix of watercolor, oil, acrylic, collage, and even bits of plastic, I’ve developed a process that feels just as layered and fragile as the reefs themselves. The textures and forms mimic not only the beauty of these ecosystems but also the debris and disruption they face. I’m always experimenting—letting materials interact in unexpected ways to reflect both the fluidity of water and the impact of climate change.
