Sailboats inherently carry so much meaning in their associations with the sea, travel and life by the water. This particular piece was commissioned as a gift that captures a personal journey brought about by the winds of change with hopeful anticipation of the future. This particular story began with high school friendships from over 50 years ago that recommenced against the backdrop of the globally life-changing events of 2020. The star of the composition is a yearbook message that fills the main sail and all else follows in its place. The remainder of the image has been lovingly pieced together with mementos chosen for their significance and visual appeal, so that the work is imbued with heartfelt memories. The image is centered ever so slightly to the right, representing forward movement.

I came upon a perfect encapsulation of this piece upon a quick internet search of sailboat symbolism which reads, “Sailboats symbolize journey and adventure. They are also associated with being carried along by the “breath of life” as its primary form of momentum is gained through the wind in its sails.” https://blog.timberlane.com
