Paddle Out - Original Art

A tribute to the saltwater send-off, Paddle Out captures the quiet power of community, remembrance, and the rhythm of the sea. Inspired by the coastal tradition where loved ones paddle out, form a circle, and release ashes into the ocean, this piece reflects the grace of goodbye—no black suits, just boards, waves, and the kind of silence that speaks volumes.

There’s something beautifully rebellious about choosing the ocean as your final resting place. It’s not morbid—it’s movement. It’s memory in motion. This artwork honors that spirit: the splash of paddles, the sun overhead, the circle that says “you mattered,” and the waves that carry stories far beyond the shore.

Whether you've witnessed a paddle out or simply admire the poetry of it, this piece invites you to feel the swell of connection, the buoyancy of love, and the freedom of letting go.
