Introducing: The Boatlaunch Collection

It has been an eventful year—and continues to be so, in part due to my excitement about finally launching this collection.

8 new paintings dos not seem like a lot, but it has been a long time coming. I started working on these pieces exactly a year ago, initiatlly planning to launch in the summer, then, in the early fall, and finally, to now. Better later than never, right?

THE CONTENT

Dedicated to two, beautiful last November storms, landing a week apart: high tide surge, which arrived first, and then, the famed Bombogenesis. the former, the most dramatic and moody on our shores, with low sky and massive waves, sand, driftwood and blurred hirizons. While, the latter, a stunning sunshine-filled celebrtation of elements, both of which soaked me sufficiently while taking photos.

I observed the two atorms from the same beach: the now-decommissioned boatlaunch at Island View, as it got covered in driftwood logs and washed free of them again.

The collection features driftwood images, which are not my usual content, but they felt necessary for the mood and depictions of the power of the surge. The logs are huge, gnarly and heavy, as are the waves.
