Ahoy there!

I'm so grateful to live on the central coast of California, near the southern boundary of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. 

From my studio, I can often hear the waves crashing down on the beach. On some days, that sound calls to me and I'll duck out of the studio to gaze out to sea and imagine all that life below. 

Whales are the great mystery. Lately, I've been reading about their nocturnal patterns. What do they do at night, when we are all sleeping? It's a question that has inspired a lot of etching in recent months.
