“Mother of the Deep”

20”x30” acrylic on canvas, 2024

The ocean is a living being, the mother of life, the keeper of mysteries and depth beyond comprehension. She is the mighty nurturer and the fierce protector.

Have you visited her lately? Have you looked beneath the surface and listened to her voice? Have you tasted the salt of her tears, breathed with her as her tide swells and recedes, allowed your laughter and wails to be enveloped by her crashing waves?

Even just a few grains of pure sea salt touched to your tongue can reveal ancient codes of biology and spirit. This is the mother, the single grain of salt, the thundering tsunami, the tidal pool, the vast shimmering expanse.

She is the ancient one, the matriarch, the Mother of the Deep.
