The St. Martin Sea Caves are a highlight for any visitor to the small town St. Martin, New Brunswick. The clear blue bay helps the unique red rock formations guard the secrets of the area's geological history during high tide, only to reveal the caves and the sea floor every 6 hours and 13 minutes during low tide.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Creating art offers me a way to connect not only with the natural beauty of the world around me but also to explore visuals and concepts that are meaningful to me on a personal growth level. My artwork has been a fulfilling way that I can focus my thoughts and energy on the things that bring me a feeling of calm.
My primary goal as a creator is to share a sense of beauty, optimism, inspiration, and compassion with collectors of my work. I believe that the art we hang on our walls is often not just for decoration, but a reflection of our inner selves and what we care about the most.
