Each painting in this series feature colors of the East Coast Newfoundland landscape. Summer's name is super-literal; she loves the glowing greens of early-summer cinnamon ferns that sprout along the coastline. She dreams of a personal evolution with unfurling fronds that lift her above the golden oceanic waves.

Created during my September residency with the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland. Inspired by Mistaken Point, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where thousands of the earliest known animal fossils are exposed on cliffsides facing the Atlantic. The simple shapes look like plants or sea sponges; the animals died out about 530 million years ago. I imagine their continued timeline, diversifying, evolving, migrating. Their sprayed outlines mimic the liquid gold of sunset shimmering off the ocean waves that surround them.
