Tidal Flood, encaustic, oil pigment stick, shellac, on cradled wood panel, 11.81 x 11.81 inches

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My artwork is a reaction to the high-tide flood waters that are having an impact on a growing number of coastal towns. The ocean is rising at about 3.3mm a year, mostly due to the melting of land-based ice and the thermal expansion of ocean water, according to NASA. This rate is accelerating over time. This is no longer an esoteric discussion. Global Warming is Real.

This painting evokes the essence of the scene, of tidal flood, the changing energies, and rhythms of the ocean and takes the viewer on a journey of exploration and deeper thought about our altered natural environment.
