“What started as a random color exercise”

This project started as an exploration of the gouache medium paired with an image I found captivating for its diverse color range. Growing up in the Seattle area with parents in the marine field, sea life imagery has always been a constant in my life. There is something about the the sea that brings a nostalgic sense of home. 

What started as a random color exercise grew into a series and has given me a relaxing way to explore a new medium as well as grow as an artist. I enjoyed exaggerating the color ranges to fit a more vibrant aesthetic. I found the process cathartic and continued creating the images in my free time.  I hope they bring the same sense of calm and fascination to the view as they have given me.
