From France to the Ocean Floor

Jul 7, 2026


On the plane back from my first solo voyage to France, I sketched arched canvases with gilded edges. I had no idea how this could be possible, but it was my dream. I visited Monet's 'Water Lilies' on that trip and felt a deep pull to create a large, immersive body of work on shapes that reflect the gorgeous architecture of Paris.
I hope you join me to see both the in-progress and finished large works.
With love,
Marie
