Fort Morgan 1 2013
14″ W X 24″ T X 4 ” D Mixed Media Canvas, bolts, lobster claws, mussel shells, rescued rope, bait bag, brads
My son, Morgan’s fort has withstood the test of sea, wind, snow, ice and rain for 25 years. It is currently serving as a beach shack to inspire reverie on a hot summer day and protection from biting insects on a misty moonlit night.
This small painting records the beach and Fort Morgan and a three pound lobster feast.

Gypsie
48″X 36″X 60″ T Mixed Media, wonder horse, lobster shells, found objects from the sea.
Gypsie started his life as my son, Morgan’s, Wonder Horse in 1989. We are not sure of the exact date of his birth but he lived quietly but comfortably in the attic of Chateau Mer in Sandy Point, Maine until June of 2010. In an attic purge, Barbara was ready to put Morgan’s Wonder Horse beside the road (where items instantly move to their next life) but talk about a “power object”, the foundation of my art work in the new millennium, the memories, the questions. How many times did the small Morgan rock on Gypsie? What were his memories? I know I had mine. The squeak, squeak , squeak was a comfort. I knew where he WAS at THAT particular moment.
He lived in the garage, taking on the persona of Sea, See, C Horse for the next three years.
