"Shield II" is a 16 x 20 impressionistic painting capturing a Gulf Coast mangrove tree from a striking dual perspective—above and below the water. The artwork emphasizes the tree’s intricate root system, which stands as a natural barrier, shielding coastal ecosystems from erosion and hurricanes while cradling baby fish and birds in its protective embrace. Vibrant brushstrokes and bold colors bring this vital sanctuary to life, celebrating the mangrove’s role as a guardian of life.
This painting was accepted into the Art Center of Sarasota summer show "Footprints of Humanity" which featured winning works that showed the effects of humans on our planet.
