Acrylic painting signed by the artist, Bailey Ferguson.
Made in Hawaii
9" x 8", wrapped canvas
Statement:
“My paintings are inspired by ocean environments, such as point breaks, coral reefs, and geological features. I use color, texture, and line to suggest change and energy. For me, the turbulence of water reflects life’s ups and downs, and the fragility of natural systems speaks to the age of the Anthropocene. I aim for my work to remind the viewer of their own resiliency and encourage further protection for the outdoor spaces that provide equanimity in moments of chaos."
