Floating peacefully among thick, textured ribbons of golden-green kelp, a sea otter rests in a state of absolute calm. Painted with heavy-body acrylics that capture the gentle movement of the water, this piece is a self-portrait representing my own journey as a mother and an artist. The deep teal depths symbolize the complex currents of life, while the otter represents resilience, playfulness, and the hard-earned ability to find absolute peace within the drift. It is a reminder to trust our instincts and honor the quiet spaces where we restore our spirits.
