Jan Peterson's Gathered Together Under the Sea, sand painting, 25.5 inches by 36.5 inches in oak frame.
Jan Peterson’s paintings explore the patterns and rhythms of the ocean’s shorelines using one of its raw materials, sand. He uses natural sands collected from beaches throughout the world to create images that allow us to touch in with a part of the earth, to enjoy and remember the beauty, serenity, color and textures of the ocean and its inhabitants.
