The beauty and power of the ocean is known by all. This awe-inspiring subject is a favourite among artists alike as he art of seascapes provides us with a means to understand the power of nature and its role in our lives. In the sea, our feelings of peace and tranquillity intertwine with the feeling of fear. The water's constant movement can be hypnotic, then suddenly overwhelming. Claudette Wiebe's seascape paintings explore what it feels like to be at the beach without ever having left your home.
