Inspiration rolls in on the breakers along the Pacific shores. Colors & moods shift with the fogbanks under the western sun. Light breaks through the marine layer, sparkles on the water, absorbs into the warm sand, rocks & coastal vegetation.
Life feels simpler, clearer, more primal, in tune with the seasons, tides, weather & time. Sand warms your toes, wind cools your back, sun bakes your skin. Your pace slows as you listen to the rhythmic crashing of the waves & contemplate distant horizons & the Pacific's deep mysteries. Your spirit lifts as you relax with the lizards & swim with the fish.
Here in Shimmering Shack Studios I've tried to capture the spirit of this place I call home. The contrast between the sparkling blue liquid of the Pacific & the toasty warm sand on the shores, the change of seasons, day to night; the slow passage of time to be savored at the edge of the continent, on the verge of the Pacific. The anticipation of travel, destination, discovery & at last the realization of our oneness with it all. This is my inspiration. I hope that each piece I create carries a bit of this inspiration with it to you. Enjoy.
