Dance of Scales and Spirit

This captivating horse medallion and painting draws the viewer into a dreamlike underwater realm, where fantasy and motion intertwine.  At its heart, a mermaid with flowing white-and-orange hair seems suspended in a graceful turn, her eyes bright and curious.  The medallion’s long tail—brushed in shades of shimmering orange, peach, and white—echoes the colors of her caring and tentative companion: a luminous, golden koi mermaid with an extravagant tail of crimson and rose, curling like a ribbon in the water.

The scene is bathed in radiant blues, from deep ocean shadows to sunlit turquoise beams streaming from above, giving the impression of a moment caught between water and light. The brushwork blends soft gradients with vivid highlights, making both figures seem to pulse with life and movement.

The work feels both intimate and expansive—a meeting of worlds told in color and form. It’s a piece that celebrates imagination, connection, and the fluid beauty of the aquatic realm.
