The Hidden Reef

Blush, lavender, and gold ripple across the canvas like coral formations glimpsed through shifting light and water, soft ridges rising and dissolving the way a reef reveals itself slowly, layer by layer. Brittany Cherkes layers pigment powders, paint, and epoxy resin on wood to build "The Hidden Reef," the surface catching light the way sunlight filters down through open water.

A Florida Keys original, inspired by the coral reefs just offshore.
