The Science of Sandbars
Here's what most people don't know about Florida's sandbars:
They're ECOSYSTEMS. Juvenile fish, crustaceans, mollusks — they all depend on these shallow zones for survival. Sandbars break wave energy, preventing beach erosion. They filter sediment, keeping water clearer. And they're never static — they migrate with seasonal currents and reshape after every storm.
Dynamic. Protective. Essential.
I painted this series because I wanted to honor what sandbars DO, not just how they look.
The color palette is intentional. Soft aquas and warm sand tones activate your parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your brain responsible for rest and restoration. Neuroaesthetics research confirms it: viewing peaceful nature scenes literally rewires your brain toward calm.
Hang this on your wall, and let it do its work.
You can shape your brain. And it starts with what you let yourself see.
