Water Imagery

These works turn to lakes, coastlines, and open water, from calm harbors to churning icebergs and surf. Boats, fishing scenes, and waterside rooms appear throughout, with light playing across the surface of rivers, seas, and sand. The mood shifts between still and stormy, but water remains the constant thread.
