In 2022, the cruise line P&O Cruises commissioned me to create two large paintings to be displayed on their newest cruise ship, the Arvia. Over two plus months of painting, Stay Lines and Shroud Lines were brought to life.
Inspired by the dazzling sweeps of light that appear when the sun is low over open water near my Brooklyn home, Stay Lines and Shroud Lines encapsulates the awe and wonder one can find in the vastness of the ocean or in everyday life.
Measuring 52 x 150 inches and made of acrylic dispersion and gold leaf on polymer canvas, the painting is composed of thousands of hand painted circles.
To put the creation process into perspective, I created a one minute time lapse video documenting the hundreds of hours it took me to paint Stay Lines.
