The abstract beachscape is painted on a retired nautical chart of Colvos Passage in Puget Sound, WA. Land is painted thickly with texture, while water is painted using transparent glazes, allowing the chart to peek through. Colvos Passage invites viewers to contemplate our role in reshaping the shorelines of Puget Sound. –Artist statement
