Maine is a complicated, unique and beautiful place to live, with many layers of personal meaning. Each watercolor is deliberately large-scale and exquisitely rendered and is a "treasure hunt." The work distorts traditional realism and three-dimensional perspective and the images conceal art-historical references. In the curious living room of "Fisherman's Friend"--we look through a window onto a painting by Winslow Homer entitled "The Fog Warning."
