In early 2014, I began a new series of contemporary paintings entitled, "Underwater & Beyond," in which my goal was to capture the surreal and beauty of the underwater world.   My primary focus with this series is the color and transparency of the water itself and to give the viewer an opportunity to escape to the quiet, open space and the peacefulness of being underwater. This series has given me an opportunity to experiment with various color palettes, techniques and to grow as an artist.
