Sea of Cortez Paintings

    


San Pedro Bay, located in the central Sea of Cortez between Guaymas and Kino Bay, Mexico, has served as a recurring site of long-term observation within this body of work. Extended periods at anchor enabled sustained underwater study, photography, and drawing around the bay’s prominent peninsula.

Several paintings in this series were developed from drawings produced on site, translating direct marine observation into layered painted compositions. A related work from this series was acquired by Tucson International Airport and is permanently installed in the East Terminal.
