Bora Bora Blacktips,” oil on canvas, 8”x10,” 2020.

Sharks can have a bad rep, but these black tip beauties are nothing but gentle and elegant creatures. I got to swim with them years ago off Bora Bora’s coast in French Polynesia. This place was magical- the crystal clear blue waters, white sand, and dazzling sunshine that dances through the warm waters. I’ve been dying to capture this picture I took and had so much fun painting it. .
