"
Inspired by the bay at Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, where I spent a month during my artist residency in 2024.
The painting grew from the time I spent looking out across the bay, watching and waiting. One day, I saw the briefest splash of a whale in the distance. It was a fleeting reminder of the life moving beneath the vast expanse of water.
The painting is less about the whale itself than the space of the bay and the sense of anticipation that came from sitting with the landscape, waiting to see what might emerge."
