Joy Can Swim in Wild Waters
The collection is titled Joy Can Swim in Wild Waters because that’s what these fish taught me: joy doesn’t need calm seas.
It can flick its tail, swirl through murky depths, and still glimmer. These aren’t just fish—they’re messengers of movement, emotion, and resilience.
Each one carries its own energy, personality, and story, full of color and curiosity.
In many cultures, fish symbolize adaptability, intuition, and abundance. They remind us to trust the currents of life, to follow our inner knowing, and to flow rather than force. Their presence invites us to move through change with grace—and maybe even a little sparkle.
I hope they make you smile and remind you that even in wild times, joy can glide right up beside you.
These paintings are available at the O3 Collective Art Gallery in Edom, Texas

"Tidal Kin" -16x20" mixed media on canvas. A chorus of fish, each with their own rhythm. They shimmer together—and still, one always swims another way. They are kin, not copies. A reminder that belonging doesn’t require sameness. Available for purchase at the O3 Collective.
