“Brackish” marks the collision of saltwater and freshwater, where currents clash, boundaries dissolve, and a precarious new chemistry emerges. This convergence is both the title and the driving force of my work. Using mixed media compositions built from materials gathered in ecologically imperiled sites, I confront the accelerating environmental crisis while inviting spiritual reflection. Each piece highlights places now on the brink—coastlines eroding, wetlands vanishing, waters turning toxic—and asks what it means to dwell amid such urgent fracture.
Brackish Water also insists on hope. Just as brackish zones shelter species found nowhere else, I believe spiritual and ecological renewal can rise where conflict is addressed through grace. My work honors those fragile thresholds, bearing witness to land and water that are suffering yet still resilient.
Painting en plein air with on-site materials, I hope Brackish Water presses viewers to regard the natural world not as static scenery but as a living, wounded testimony—complex, endangered, and urgently in need of our care.
