The ocean has always been at the heart of my life in Florida. I live on an island, with the Atlantic Ocean before me, the Indian River Lagoon in my backyard, and the Archie Carr Turtle Refuge stretching out on either side.
The rhythm of the waves, tropical colors, brilliant light, and wide-open spaces continually inspire my work.
Once a captain of a36-foot Cheoy Lee sloop and a licensed Coast Guard captain, I’ve spent countless hours at sea delivering boats and exploring new places.

The ocean teemed with life—playful native dolphins, leaping tarpon, majestic wintering right whales, and endless other marvels. Diving beneath the surface opened a gateway to another world, sparking ideas for many of my artworks.
