RisingTIdes

Rising Tides portrays a woman swimming through a quilt of refracted light and color. Shades of aqua green and soft brown move with her, transforming the surface into a living fabric of motion and strength.

In Rising Tides, the water becomes a shifting quilt of color, stitched together by movement and light. As the swimmer glides forward, patterns of aqua, sienna, and gold ripple across her body, merging skin and current into a single, fluid design. The refracted light flickers and reforms with each imagined stroke, creating a rhythm that speaks to endurance and renewal.

The painting honors the unbroken strength of women, how they move through resistance with beauty, grace, and unspoken power. It is both intimate and universal, a vision of perseverance woven in color.
