Moshup Beach (formerly called Gay Head)
Martha’s Vineyard
Aquinnah, Massachusetts
The clay cliffs of Aquinnah have captured my imagination. This place is so different from other coastal areas of New England, you almost can’t believe you’re in Massachusetts when you walk on Moshup Beach. Prehistoric glaciers shaped these cliffs, which erode with continual exposure to the elements. But like the dunes of Provincetown, the wind and water always change the shape of the coastline.
The layers of reds, pinks, ochres, whites, peaches, blacks, and gray colors are all revealed in the clay. In this piece, I play off the coolness of the turquoise water, also notable at this beach, against the warm earth tones of the clay and sand.
Cape Cod Museum of Art selected this painting for the juried exhibit "Transparent, Translucent, Opaque: Layered Meanings," and was most recently in the curated exhibit "End to End: Cape and Island Artists and the Land" at Highfield Hall and Gardens, where it was sold in August, 2023.
