“CarbonNATION” on view at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod’s Ocean Fever/Resilient Sea Exhibition through April 25.

CarbonNATION, watercolor, 12×12, 2026 Inspired by the essential work of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Cultural Center of Cape Cod issued a call to local artists to create art that evokes the impact of climate change on local environments. I found myself fixated on the impact of carbon dioxide on our environment and took the opportunity to play with type and color. CarbonNATION was one of three works I submitted to this juried show, which is on view until April 25, 2026.   Reception on Friday, April 10, 5-7pm.   My work for this prompt is based on a photo I took in Woods Hole in 2023. I’ve always loved the colors, life and movement in this photo and was glad to find a reason to paint from it.   Woods Hole shoreline.
