There is something incredibly intimate about creating a piece alongside a collector.
“A Game of Chase” was born from a beautiful collaboration with my collector, — her vision, her love of dolphins, her desire for movement and light… woven together with my creative interpretation of the ocean’s tenderness.
From our first conversation to the final brushstroke, this painting became a dance between her ideas and my artistry. Trust like that is never taken lightly. It is a privilege.
This is my largest and most technically challenging commission at the time of creating this painting — and also one of the most joyful. The scale, the light rays, the movement between turtle and dolphins… every detail was created with intention and heart.

“Together We Dance” reflects my fascination with connection, movement, and quiet companionship found in the natural world. The two sea turtles are portrayed not as individuals, but as partners—moving in rhythm, guided by an unspoken understanding shaped by time and tide. Their gentle, circling motion mirrors a dance, symbolic of relationships built on trust, balance, and shared direction.
I chose oil paint for its richness and ability to capture depth, allowing the ocean to feel both vast and intimate. Layers of blue create a sense of calm and flow, while the warm tones of the turtles’ shells bring contrast and life, suggesting resilience and warmth within the surrounding coolness. The vibrant coral reef grounds the composition, representing community, shelter, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
This painting is an invitation to slow down and observe the quiet harmony that exists beneath the surface. It speaks to the beauty of moving through life alongside another—sometimes leading, sometimes following, but always together.
