Pathways to the Sea is a mixed media portrait that visualizes treasured places and experiences where oceans meet beaches.

This video shows what inspired the painting and a progression of the painting:

Refreshment and fun are found when one strolls along beaches, wriggling toes in sand as salty spray washes away worry. In fact, I find a special touch of God’s grace when I visit the beach.

I took the background photos for this mixed media when I visited various beaches with family and friends:

Carmel for a family wedding…

Santa Barbara for a girls’ getaway…

Salt Creek Beach, San Clemente with family and friends…

La Jolla, San Diego with family…

Although wild and untamed, the sea possesses the power to heal and refresh. This is why I long to wander down Pathways to the Sea.
