What we Risk, What we See
This painting is more than a view—it’s an emotional landscape. Perched on the cliffs of Monhegan Island, I stood where land meets sea in an endless, elemental struggle. The trees are bent but standing. The rocks, fractured but firm. Everything here speaks of resilience—earned, not given—shaped by years of wind, weather, and time.
Reaching this spot came with risk—physical and emotional. There was vulnerability in standing at the edge, but also a striking clarity. That tension—between fear and awe, between fragility and strength—is what called me to paint it.
For those who’ve faced storms of their own and emerged transformed, this piece may feel deeply personal. It’s a visual echo of persistence, a reminder that the strength to endure is often the birthplace of beauty.
If this painting speaks to your own story—your journey, your resilience—then perhaps it already belongs with you. Art like this doesn’t just hang on a wall. It anchors a space. It reflects who you are and what you’ve overcome. Let it remind you, every day, of what’s possible when we hold fast through the storm.
