Artist Comments

The drama of new land being formed is a sight to behold. The island of Hawaii is the perfect place to see this amazing event. The power of two elements, fire and water, colliding is intensely dramatic. 

I think Madam Pele, the volcano Goddess, would be impressed with this rendition of her handiwork. At least I hope so. 

I was commissioned to create this oil painting. My client was inspired by my "Fire In The Sky" painting and asked if I'd do a painting with lava flowing into the sea. One of his favorite artists was Jules Tavernier who painted many Hawaii volcano oil paintings back in the 1800s. I never heard of Jules until my client introduced me to his work. I'm so glad he did. The man was a true master at his art.
