Breakers 24 x 24 inches oil/wood
Is there something magical about the ocean? I think so, that’s why I keep going back to it as a source for contemplative reflection and art inspiration. I found this bit of magic when I was just 10 years old, walking by the shore’s edge with a soft breeze blowing and stretching my eyes toward the horizon. Being at the beach always brings me back to myself, and a little closer to the truth.
New ideas can slip in when I have uninterrupted time to be alone with my thoughts. The possibility of a new idea can light up seemingly out of nowhere. My paintings of the ocean offer that kind of space and a way to access those moments even when you aren’t at the beach.
The water keeps me both calm and fascinated at the same time which to me is a bit of magic.
Warmly,
Casey
