Ever meet someone who just has so much wisdom and depth in their eyes, and that they seem as though they have an old soul? Even more unique is someone with an old soul and none of the jadedness life’s thrown their way. This baby whale embodied it all. As the artist swam in the open deep Tahitian waters with this calf humpback whale, there was this peacefulness, a calm connection, as though the calf could relate to the artist. And after making eye contact and resting near her, the calf burst with energy and speed and splashed on the surface, letting her know you can live many lifetimes but still be wild and free. The artist dreamed of that old soul peeking through those baby eyes and couldn’t wait to get a representation on canvas.

Mixed media: acrylic, spray paint, inks, collage collected from around the world, dandelions, silver leaf, pigment powders, finished with oil and archival gloss varnish.
