The Dance of Wind and Water/
La Danza del Vento e dell’Acqua

22” diameter
Acrylic on birch marine ply / in the forward cabin

I met the owner of this yacht while attending the TED2020 conference. We connected through our shared appreciation of visual arts. It led to a friendship and to a commission of a custom painting to hang in the forward cabin of their yacht.

It was a great collaboration that resulted in a painting that pushed my use of new materials and color schemes. Says the client, “It fits the new space perfectly and embodies the painting’s namesake, The Dance of Wind and Water.

The 44’-long yacht has a modern classic design and build. Its engine is battery powered, one of the only alternative energy battery-powered yachts at sea.
