Puget Sound
"Puget Sound" captures the sweeping majesty and elemental force of one of North America's most storied coastal landscapes. With brooding clouds, shifting tides, and rocky outcroppings carved by ancient glaciation, this piece evokes both the grandeur and mystery of the Pacific Northwest. The brushwork mirrors the kinetic energy of the water, while distant landforms rise softly through sea mist—suggesting the passage of time, migration, and memory. A tribute to nature’s sculptural power and the enduring beauty of the Sound’s wild, unyielding coast.
This striking seascape records the rugged natural beauty of Puget Sound—unquestionably North America’s most pristine estuary. The Sound was discovered in 1792 by George Vancouver and named after Peter Puget, a French Huguenot who became an officer in the British Royal Navy. It is the result of the melting retreat of the 6,000 foot thick Vashon Glaciation about 15,000 years ago.
This composition captures the striking colors, rocky jetties, swift currents, and dramatic vistas that characterize Puget Sound.
