On New Horizons
In this vibrant new work, On New Horizons, the artist masterfully captures the dynamic and diverse mission of the modern U.S. Coast Guard. The canvas is a symphony of contrasting elements, where the stark, ice-covered landscapes of the Arctic meet the sun-drenched, turquoise waters of the Caribbean, symbolizing the agency's global reach. A sleek, modern cutter cuts through the choppy seas, not merely in pursuit of a single objective, but engaged in a multitude of tasks: a helicopter hovers above, a small boat is deployed for a rescue, and figures on the deck perform a fisheries inspection. The painting brilliantly illustrates the Coast Guard’s dual role as a military service and a law enforcement agency, while also highlighting their humanitarian efforts in search and rescue operations and environmental protection. On New Horizons is a testament to the selfless dedication of the service members who stand ready to answer the call, whether it's defending national security, saving lives, or safeguarding the nation's maritime resources.
