In The Littoral Thread, a Gulf mermaid gathers shells during a storm. The threads that bind her to the sea mirror the ties that connect all life to the health of our waters. The title refers to the littoral zone, where land and sea continually meet and reshape one another, an ever-changing boundary between sand and water. Rooted in the ecology and spirit of the barrier islands of Southwest Florida, the painting is both a celebration of coastal life and a reminder of our shared responsibility to protect it.
