Storms in the ocean create a powerful energy that can travel for thousands of miles until that energy is matched with a combination of variables to open up a surreal world only to be tamed  by the most experienced of waterman.

This world is a place where time stands still, 

This world is a place of peace surrounded by utter Chaos, 

This world is a place of complete mental presence and anything less it absorbs you at its mercy.  

This world can be predictable and playful enticing the fairest of challengers. 

This world can be violent and deadly evoking fear upon anyone who dares to enter. 

This world Heals, 

This world Kills,

For many surfers this world becomes their purpose of life, Searching every shoreline of the earth for it. 

Seeking it in its greatest form and getting as close to the turmoil as possible without letting it take control. 

This world is my happy place 

Happy Places is a series of affordable original paintings that recreate this world in all its forms.
