Living in San Diego, the ocean is an ever-present feature of my life. As a still life painter, I try to find objects that express my interest in the world around me. I felt that the curving lines in the sea shells, together with the curves and undulations of the green scarf and the glass orb suggested the ebb and flow of waves and tides of the sea. The blue-green colors of the glass and scarf suggest to me water, while the golden tans of the shells suggest the color of the sand.
