Hovering

8 x 8, Acrylic & Ink on wood panel, 2026.

There is a quiet elegance in the way a stingray moves. With slow, effortless grace, it seems to float through the water, carried by the current rather than fighting against it. Hovering is a reflection of that peaceful rhythm.

Painted on a natural wood panel, the vibrant blue ray glides across a field of flowing hand-drawn ink patterns inspired by the movement of water. The organic linework and exposed wood grain create a sense of depth and motion, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty found in stillness.

Part of the Small Wonders Collection, this original painting celebrates the calm moments that nature offers when we take the time to notice them. Though intimate in scale, Hovering brings a quiet presence and a connection to the ocean wherever it is displayed.
