“The Edge of Nowhere” is a digital painting based on my original photography and oil painting, manipulated to transform it to a dream-like state. As part of my series “Stormy”, it captures the power of nature–the sea and the wind and the energy a storm creates. The ocean is a constantly changing reflection of its surroundings—colors shift subtly by the moment, and rhythmic patterns are created by wind and tide. These otherworldly images are part of a larger body of work called “Thin Places”. What are Thin Places? Mystical places of energy; doorways to another existence–perhaps transcendent. Places that entice and inspire, we sense them differently and can’t describe them in words. Can we experience the extraordinary in our daily lives when we succumb to the beauty of nature?
