Christy Savage

Comes the Tide

Watercolor, acrylic on canvas

"[This painting was] inspired by the beauty of water and death. . .Fascinated by murder, monsters and the macabre, I'm driven to create out of helplessness in the face of real life horror. My art embraces and reflects the darkness of the human soul, heavily influenced by mythology, classic works, horror comics, film, and true crime.”

— Christy Savage
