Where the Storm Meets the Sea_Acrylic on Canvas_Expressionist Art by Shannon Sorensen

New Art :: Where the Storm Meets the Sea

Shannon Sorensen February 19, 2021

Where the Storm Meets the Sea is an acrylic painting on stretched canvas.

Buy this art print.

Inspired by a day at Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA, last summer. We watched a storm emerge out over the coastline north of Boston. It didn’t pass over us, but we observed from a distance.

This moment reminded me of the feeling of grief, emerging sometimes slowly into our days…

Waves of grief can be so powerful. Dark storm clouds emerge. The air fills with static. Sometimes, it feels as if you’re outside your body, watching from a distance, waiting for the dark to pass. And when it does, glimmers of light appear. The waves retreat and calm. The sea feels peaceful again.

You can watch the process of this painting being made from start to finish, on my YouTube channel, or click below and enjoy!

Welcome!

I’m Shannon, a local Connecticut artist specializing in modern abstract realism & expressionist art.

I have a passion for helping others to see the creative potential in themselves, and empowering them to explore & enjoy it.

When I’m not painting, parenting, or working at preschool, you can find me gardening, reading past my bedtime, spending time outdoors, and playing in my at-home art space.

This space is for sharing my latest paintings, projects, studio updates, and thoughts about creative living.

Get a glimpse at my day-to-day over on socials!

If you enjoy my art & writing, you can show your appreciation & buy me a coffee on Venmo - @shannonsart. Thank you!


Earth without art is just eh.

Every order through my art shop plants a tree in areas in need of reforestation. So far, since 2020, we’ve planted 111 trees in North America.
