Flashe and Acrylic on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas, 24 x 30 inches

A collection of colorful life jackets hangs in quiet anticipation, suspended between memory and adventure. Inspired by summers at the lake and childhood days along the May River in Bluffton, South Carolina, Dockside Days reflects the rhythms of life spent near the water. Through bold color, layered shapes, and simplified forms, the painting captures the nostalgia of salt air, sunlit docks, and the enduring pull of places that feel like home. What might appear as an ordinary arrangement becomes a tribute to the experiences, friendships, and family traditions woven into a life connected to the water.
