Mahi-Mahi Under the Milky Way

This piece came about from following my artist statement goal of creating work that rests on life as a major component, I don’t strive to just place paint down or carve a piece of wood out for the sake of the process, but I strive to point out moments, places, things and feelings related to our existence in this beautiful planet. This scene is part of memories of going fishing with my Pastor and growing up in an area surrounded by water. It also has been influenced by the rock group The Church song "Under the Milky Way".
