In the summer of 1978, I vacationed on Cape Cod.
Since then the Atlantic coast has been at the center of my work. The light and space near the ocean is expansive and the colors can be brilliant or nearly monochromatic. Forms are given a stage to take on new significance. Whether in oils or watercolors,
I'm looking for my response to the solitude and stillness one
can feel on the shore.
