My
relationship with whales began with a series of very powerful dreams
that either left me jubilant or, on one occasion, sobbing. I had to
look up this huge barnacle-covered baleen whale Id dreamt about
and could remember in every detail. It was the gray whale. In my dreams
a particular gray was my soulmate, and came to take me home. The dreams
lead me on a journey to Baja California, Mexico - to the warm lagoons
in which the grays breed each winter. There, some of the events
that happened in my dreams, occurred in reality.
I returned home intent on helping to create a future where man and whale could not just co-exist peacfully, but could have an extra-ordinary relationship! I started painting this series to express my feelings for the gray whale and to try to unravel some of the messages in my dreams. Click any image to see a large version
