This artwork started with a photograph I took of a shipwreck on Fraser Island, Australia where I went to college.

The ship represents the Exploration phase as I am testing new ideas, textures and combinations of color. Some ideas work and some don't, but often times you find something incredible and unexpected.

Because I have been through this creative process so many times I know that there comes a point where I will hit that creative block and negativity will start creeping in. This is represented by the Shipwreck.
