An exploration of color, nature, and the tranquil yet vibrant energy of the underwater world.

Intention

This collection intends to capture the vibrant joy and playful spirit of the Caribbean through these colorful watercolor fish paintings. Each piece was inspired by the natural beauty and lively energy of the underwater world, reflecting my deep love for nature and the tranquil yet vibrant life of the ocean. This collection is meant to bring a sense of happiness, wonder, and connection to the beauty around us, reminding us of the simple joys found in both art and nature.

Gathering Inspiration

I gathered inspiration for this collection during my travels to the Caribbean, where I was captivated by the vivid colors and lively patterns of the tropical fish. Snorkeling in the clear waters, I was mesmerized by the dynamic interplay of light, movement, and color in the underwater world. Back home, I spent time in my garden, noticing how the vibrant hues and delicate textures of the flowers mirrored the beauty I experienced in the ocean. This fusion of memories from the sea and my garden became the foundation for my watercolor fish paintings, each piece infused with the JOY and wonder that nature inspires in me.

Creative Process

My creative process begins with immersing myself in nature, drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors and patterns I observed in the Caribbean waters and my garden. I start by sketching the fish, capturing their playful movement and intricate details. As I paint with watercolors, I focus on blending rich hues to reflect the lively spirit of the sea. To add a unique touch, I finish each piece with a hint of gold shimmer, bringing a subtle glow that catches the light, symbolizing the warmth and radiance of the underwater world. This final touch adds a layer of depth and whimsy, making each painting feel truly special.
