This abject acrylic painting explores how flooding affects our historical buildings that are clos to the sea. The painting represents some of the seacoast houses that are under threat from raising sea water. Symbolic abstract shapes, and loose brush strokes shows the possible damage these building might have.

This piece offers viewers, a way to see the power and effects of sea surges and storms.. In particular the flood from 2023 at Hampton beach is the subject of this painting. Climate change will affect the edges of our coast in ways we are still figuring out.

When I was eight, our school went to a field trip to Strawbery Banke. I fell in love with it then, the gardens, the crowded turn of the century houses. It was such a beautiful escape. Now I live close by and I paint such an amazing part of Portsmouth.Strawbery Banke is the oldest neighborhood in New Hampshire to be settled by Europeans, and the earliest neighborhood remaining in the present-day city of Portsmouth. It features more than 37 restored buildings built between the 17th and 19th centuries in the Colonial, Georgian and Federal style architectures. The darkest colored house is the oldest house in the group. I have a group of historical areas that I am painting, or known as historical paintings. Look out for more!
