Edge of Solace

a note from the artist

It’s a scene I searched for but never found—until I allowed my creativity to bend reality.
This image began as a feeling, an idea I carried with me for years. It was the Pacific Northwest — the coast, Mercer Island, Lake Washington, and the quiet solitude of the water—that finally gave me the raw material to bring it to life.

Every element in this piece was captured here, making it not only a product of place, but a personal statement about my time in this region.

As I continue exploring my theme of Comfortable Isolation, I find myself drawn to water—what it represents, how it holds us.
Renewal.
Neutrality.
Energy.

In psychology, the ego is described as a pool of energy.
Too often, I encounter mine when it’s storming, frozen, or dry.
But in my meditations, I imagine myself at its edge—still, vast, and reflective.

Edge of Solace is a reminder to return to that shore.
To sit with my experiences.
To listen inward.
To keep that inner pool vibrant, full, and alive.

About the prints: I print on a premium substrate that is unparalleled in depth and luminosity. The material refracts light in such a way that light travels laterally through the paper as well as reflects to the audience creating a brilliant effect that is often mistaken to be rear illumination. Each print is then face mounted to acrylic and sandwiched to a protective backing. The artwork is then framed or a recessed mount is added to the back to float on the wall. I offer Tabacchino and other handmade framing options. Available starting at 20”x60” and as long as 120” with custom sizes in between. Below are examples of a 60” edition in a variety of frames with and without liners. More arrangements are available. Liners are available in Black, White, Beige.

Ordering: The price below includes a recessed mount to hang frameless and shipping to the contiguous United States. If you’d like one of the frames featured above, shown on the framing page, or something different, please add that to the note in the checkout process.
