Surrender. The humpback whales that come to Hawai'i every winter are pure grace in the water. Above the surface you see the blows and the splashes and slaps, but below the surface is a dance. These enormous animals will sometimes just hang there, wings open as if they are surrendering themselves to the ocean and to the light. I wanted to capture that feeling in this piece..

Turtle in the Sea. Sea turtles are such a graceful sight to see in the water. On land, they lumber, but in the sea they truly glide. This piece is installed in a room that gets very strong western light. The window, however, looks out on a fence so the stained glass obscures the view, but lets the light through. The glass can take strong light and really is vibrant when the sun comes through. 30" x 40.5"

Yellow Tang. 7.5" diameter.
 
Starfish. 9.7" x 11.5"
