The last light of day was painting La Jolla beach in San Diego when I saw this group of surfers emerge. Their young, happy energy was palpable—stoked and utterly exiting after what was clearly a fresh session. It felt like they had just shrugged off the day’s commitments, school or work, and their precious free time had begun.

My painting, “666. Sunset Surfers,” is currently on display at the Northcoast Artists Gallery in Fort Bragg as part of their new exhibition, “Gathering.”

The show runs from November 6th through December 2nd. We invite you to visit the gallery and see the artwork in person!
