To me, this Painting is about mystical innocents and power. My story of this image is that a sea goddess is guiding and protecting a small boat through a rough and difficult journey across a stormy gray sea. My impression of this Sea Goddess is that she is peaceful, she’s in charge, calm and pure but strong. The boat is lost at sea, adrift and in big waves, and she’s guiding it to somewhere safe. I immediately wanted to make a ‘salty amber’ to represent the essence of this painting and this goddess. The saltiness of her waves, her naked body and hair were translated into light notes. The deep mysterious nature of what lay below the surface of the deep ocean is sensual and breathless and pulled me in and called for Amber.
