about the work

“other oceans”

contemporary / nuanced neutrals

Her large-scale aerial view paintings of edgeless oceans, punctuated with figures adrift are both dynamic and full of movement while maintaining a restful quality, replete with mystery. She suspends the ocean's perpetual movement in dazzling resin surfaces, capturing and reflecting light, illuminating depth. Inside these “other oceans,” relationships begin to appear between bathers, subtly juxtaposing anonymity and familiarity, blurring the line between memory and dream. Her works invite the viewer to take a closer look; neutral palettes become a world of nuanced color and textural mark making — a balance that feels grounded and quietly avant-garde.

about the process

Divine ache

holding grief / goodness together

“In the depths of every human heart is an ache – for God, for love, for beauty, for a knowing in the sea of mystery. No one is without this divine ache, this holy longing, this deep thirst.”

— Hannah Yanetsko

my work is an invitation to explore those “other oceans” — the space between love and mystery, where the unknown becomes a meeting place of grief and goodness.
