A sweeping 90”x24” canvas, this commissioned painting captures the tumultuous beauty of the Atlantic with storm-tossed waves crashing against the first lighthouse on the American coast. Rendered in deep blues, whites, and shifting grays, the textured brushwork mirrors the restless sea and the unseen histories it holds. Inspired by a lost colonial-era letter found off the Caribbean coast, the painting hints at a forbidden love between a traveler and an enslaved man, their story carried in whispers through time. The work evokes the romanticism and peril of the 1700s-1800s, blending maritime legacy with unspoken narratives of identity and longing.
