This piece was commissioned by a private collector and depicts "The Bachelor and Three Graces", iconic sequoias in Yosemite's Mariposa Grove.

The edge between land and sea is not a fixed line. It is constantly defining itself with new patterns of water on sand. Miles and miles of beach are pounded, stroked, and gently washed by layer upon layer of water. Beaches are created, softly sloping into the surf. Cliffs are carved out of what had seemed to be solid rock. The one constant is that the shoreline is ever-evolving. All we can observe is a moment in time.
