In *Grace of the Reef*, Kevin H Young captures the silent majesty of one of nature's oldest mariners- the sea turtle. Set against the deep twilight tones of the ocean, this vibrant piece merges realism with emotion, inviting viewers to reflect on the fragility and endurance of marine life. With intricate attention to detail in the turtle's patterned shell and flippers, and a luminous palette that glows from within, the artwork exudes both strength and serenity. The delicate silhouettes of flying birds subtly embedded along the shell offer a poetic link between sea and sky, earth and spirit - a hallmark of Kevin's contemplative storytelling through art. This piece pays homage to the grace and resilience of endangered marine species and reflects the artist's deep reverence for the natural world
