There is something ancient in her quietude. Something delicate and also powerful, in her becoming. The Tethered Depth is a meditation on belonging — a delicate ode to the soul’s un seen anchors. With soft washes of deep sea and sky, misted coffee and slate tones, and salt-washed ivory, this piece evokes the sacred stillness of the ocean floor — where time moves slowly and all is held. The barnacle as an emblem - or yes, even a power animal - is the quality of embracing your community, banding together in times that are challenging, holding each other – and ourselves, high. The barnacle is a reminder of strength, resilience, persisting even when the storms get wild and wicked, we hold together and remember that we are stronger than the storm. Etched with intricate, reverent linework and layered watercolour, the piece draws you into a world beneath sound. Inspired by the quiet tenacity of the barnacle — a creature that survives through devotion — this painting speaks to the beauty of sacred attachments: to places, to memories, to truths that endure. There is wisdom here — in staying, in grounding, in finding one’s home amid the ever-shifting tides. The Tethered Depth is for the collector who understands that stillness is not stagnation, but sanctity. Show more
