The Undertow of Memory is an original painting from the Everything Ripples Collection. 18“W x 24“H in mixed media on stretched canvas (2026).

The Undertow of Memory explores the invisible pull of the past — the way relationships, grief, and remembered moments can linger beneath the surface and shape how we experience the present moment.

Created during a period of grief, the piece captures the disorienting weight of memory: how it can rise unexpectedly, distort perception, and momentarily paralyze us. Layers of deep green-y blues, shadow, texture, and luminous color move across the surface like the emotional residue from moments endured and carried forward.

Rather than depicting memory as something fixed, The Undertow of Memory presents it as a force: fluid, immersive, and difficult to escape. It reflects the tension between being pulled backward and trying to remain present, between surrendering to the past and finding movement again.
