A note from SYD:
Anchored along the Cape Fear River, the Battleship is such a powerful symbol of Wilmington. It represents strength, service, and the deep-rooted history that continues to shape our coastal community. For so many locals, it’s a familiar sight. Something we grow up seeing, visiting, and feeling proud of.
This original acrylic painting (24x30 canvas) is created in my signature expressive style, using loose brushstrokes, layered color, and movement to bring the Battleship to life. Rather than focusing on rigid detail, I wanted to capture the feeling of it. Strong yet peaceful, grounded yet surrounded by constantly moving water and sky. The vibrant blues, greens, and pops of color reflect Wilmington’s coastal energy and the way history and creativity coexist here.
As a Wilmington-based artist and small business owner, I’m constantly inspired by how this community honors its past while continuing to grow forward. The Battleship feels like a steady presence in that story, watching over the city as it evolves while reminding us of where we’ve been.
