LoRes Beach Day I.jpg

One of my earliest and most cherished memories was of my mother taking my sister and me down to the beach. We lived in Miami and it was a year-round activity. We would leave our car in the beach parking lot and take an endless (well, it seemed endless to me at the time) tunnel passage under a main road toward the bright light of the sun on the surf.  I lived for those moments as a little kid. The magic of the sun and sea mesmerized me. I played in the sand and chased the waves on the shore. I wanted to stay on the beach forever. As an adult, I have realized that fantasy. I go to the beach and bask in the beauty of the coastal landscape, but with the idea of creating new art to make the feeling go on forever. 

 

I am a Florida-born artist and my deep love for my native state, the beach, and the ocean fuels my creativity. I use my art to amplify the beauty, joy, and peace of nature, hoping to inspire others to cherish, preserve, and protect these delicate environments.

 

Working with both traditional and digital media, that includes photography, I’ve created a collection of giclée prints that capture the allure, magic, and delight of the beach. The different moods of the ocean are a constant source of inspiration for me, and I try to reflect that in my work—from serene, tranquil moments to the playful, vibrant energy that the coast brings. Also, intriguing are the many different characters who visit our coastal surroundings.I have loved to people-watch since I was a kid. In my work, I try to capture the joyful and often quirky personalities that make visiting Florida beaches such fun. 

Here you will also find some of my black and white work shot by the water's edge in Key West, Palm Beach, Coconut Grove, and Miami Beach. Stunning images of our Florida oceans reworked in my digital studio to underscore the majesty and beauty that surround us.

 

From my watercolor work, I include a series, Oceans In Abstraction. These images are abstract interpretations of the beauty and vibrancy of the coral reefs. Coral reef protection is essential to our environment and the oceans. Through my work, I wish to make people more aware of the beauty beneath the waves as much as above them. 

 

In addition to my Florida-inspired work, I spent time in the West, where the majestic landscapes of the mountains left a lasting impression. Some of my prints honor the stunning natural beauty I experienced there, offering a balance between the ocean and mountain landscapes in my portfolio.

Through my art, I aim to create works that bring home the joy of an afternoon at the beach or the tranquillity that can be found by the water's edge or on a mountain trail: a memory that lasts long after the moment has ended but that can be relived at any time.

 

My company, Coll Workshop, LLC's goal in creating 305art.com is to offer art collectors and discerning clients an online option to purchase superior quality art prints at affordable prices. Each giclée print comes with a certificate of authenticity and is printed on archival fine art paper using archival inks for long-lasting quality.
