Incredibly honored to have my painting chosen as the featured art for the 2025 Neptune Festival poster. The opening night at The Dome was breathtaking. I’ve never been there and the VIP area and concert venue were so impressive. All of the support from the local community was overwhelming. Thank you to everyone involved in this massively volunteer group of dedicated professionals that supports the arts in our community and connects us all.

The painting was inspired by a photo I took at last years Neptune Festival at 5am in the morning just before dawn from the water behind my tent with my Aquatech housing and canon mirrorless camera while treading water looking towards the beach. Through my lens I could see the 24th street life saving museum as well as the tents along the boardwalk. It’s a rare day indeed to have actual surf during this event let alone such perfectly clean conditions during the early morning hours.

Posters will only be available from the Neptune Festival tent at the show in the fall.
