Materials: Acrylic paint, modeling paste, and brushwork on stretched canvas. High gloss varnish to finish and framed in a natural wood floater frame
This artwork was created using layers of acrylic paint applied with both palette knives and brushes to create an impasto effect. Modeling paste was used to build texture and dimension, allowing the wave forms and atmospheric elements to physically rise from the canvas, evoking the sense of turbulent waters and dramatic skies.

This painting explores the emotional push and pull of life’s turbulent moments—how we’re often swept up, held in place, or carried along by forces beyond our control. Thick textures made with modeling paste and layered acrylics build the churning sea, while soft, luminous skies float above—offering contrast, clarity, and calm.
In Where the Current Kept Us, I wanted to capture that in-between space: not quite sinking, not yet safe. Just held. The place where beauty and chaos coexist. Where light still breaks through, even when the water is wild beneath you.
