• Out of Town

Wilcoxon’s current series of boat paintings portrays a distinctively different mood. There is more darkness, more hurt, and a deep, but quiet kind of sadness. They are devoid of the humor that pervades her previous work. While she has used boat images before, she has never worked on a series of them. She photographs boats, boat yards, and old hulls in and around her waterfront neighborhood and then draws from memory or dives right into a painting.
