“I live on a bluff that is rapidly encroaching on my house,” she says. “I’m now 70 feet from the edge. I lost 35 this spring, about 20 in that February storm in June. I saw the dune being carried away. I saw a crack, it sheared off 15 feet during the night.”

“For years I have been painting the destruction of dunes and the power of nature,” she says. “I paint large works because nature’s very big…. Very dramatic. A lot of my work is about the power of the dunes. The falling-down nature of things appeals to me.
