I began painting the High Water series after a beach walk some time in 2018 during a spring tide. The swell was high. The waves were pushing the water close to the edge, forcing me to climb the dunes. This made me feel very uncomfortable and the realisation of the power of the water hit me, how vulnerable we are in a time of rising sea levels and a warming climate. With an increase of storms, which with them bring destruction and the reshaping of the land.
