Always on Vacay – Coastal Nostalgia Meets Sedona Glow

Where the Shore Still Lives Within

Every time I think back to the warm sands of Long Beach Island, I’m reminded that some places never truly leave you.
They quietly reside inside, shaped by the sound of waves, the warmth of the sun, and the glow of memories.
“Always on Vacay” was born from that feeling: the intuition that even though I now live among the red rocks of Sedona, the spirit of the shore still flows through my work.

A Question that Always Brings a Smile

Are you heading to the beach or returning home? The choice is yours.
When I ask my collectors this, they always smile and say, “Going to the beach—who wants to go home?”
For me, that line has taken on new meaning. After relocating to Sedona, I realized that home can be more than a place—it’s a light that travels with you.
Whether it’s the shimmer of “Always on Vacay” of ocean waves or the glow of desert stones at sunset, it’s all a dialogue between light and emotion.

Painting the Connection Between Coast and Desert

I painted “Always on Vacay” using fluorescent 3-D acrylics to convey that shared radiance.
The glowing yellow sand pathway leads toward the unseen ocean, bordered by weathered posts and rope, with tall grasses swaying along the dunes.
Above, the patterned sky ripples with colors—blues, golds, greens, and magentas—that recall both the horizon over LBI and the skies of Sedona after rain.

Hidden Symbols of Memory

Under black light,“Always on Vacay” the pigments come alive, transforming memory into motion—a moment that glows beyond what the eye can see.
Hidden among the dunes are four small hearts, symbols of the love, laughter, and salt-air freedom that shaped those Jersey Shore summers.
Yet beneath that nostalgia runs the same spirit guiding my desert paintings—a reverence for light and how it can preserve memory.

Where the Shore Meets the Red Rocks

Collectors say that “Always on Vacay” feels both familiar and fresh, as if it bridges two worlds—the ocean’s peace and Sedona’s glow.
It shares that reflective energy with “The Dunes of Naples,” “La Jolla,” and “Serenity at Sunset,” each offering a luminous moment of calm and connection.

My artwork is showcased at The Village Gallery, the top gallery in Sedona — a wonderful place to experience my Sedona luminous landscapes and Southwest wall art in person.
