Everything May Happen is a series of oil paintings focused on figures and the open ocean, shaped by Maine’s maritime painting tradition and the working waterfront. The sea serves as both setting and subject, informed by long-held superstitions and daily experience.

The paintings reflect themes of love, loss, and uncertainty, using the ocean as a steady but unpredictable presence. Influenced by Maine painters and Stoic philosophy, this work emphasizes observation, restraint, and persistence over narrative.
