A Glimpse Beyond - Original Oil Painting

A Glimpse Beyond is from the collection Mysteries of the Deep.

A quiet meditation on connection, trust, and the space between what is and what's becoming - for the ocean, and for us.

With her gaze fixed beyond the present, a mermaid extends her hand to an octopus resting gently within her palm. She does not simply see what is—she envisions what could be. In the silent depths, understanding flows between them, a quiet exchange between two beings bound by the same world.

This piece also speaks to the moments we find ourselves holding something unknown - a feeling, a calling, a future not yet formed - and the choice to meet it with presence and trust. The octopus, a symbol of adaptability and deep intelligence, reflects our own inner knowing. The mermaid's open hand becomes an act of faith - a willingness to engage with the mystery while keeping her eyes on what lies ahead.

A Glimpse Beyond is a reminder that the future isn't something we wait for - it's something we meet now with open hands and an open heart.
