Leaving Martha’s Vineyard (2017) is a luminous abstract meditation on departure, memory, and the emotional residue of place. Conceived in the fleeting moments just after sunset, the work captures the artist’s final vision of Martha’s Vineyard as seen from a departing ferry—when the island’s energy is still vibrating, yet already slipping into memory.
The Vineyard’s ferry port is a theater of movement and anticipation: day-trippers lingering, summer residents settling into the evening, lights flickering on as laughter spills from waterfront bars, restaurants, and art-filled shops. In this moment of transition, the artist found themselves spellbound—suspended between immersion and escape. The island glows with promise and celebration, even as distance begins to claim it.
Rendered through a dynamic interplay of acrylic, oil, and mixed media, the composition dissolves the literal into the emotional. Color and gesture evoke electric harbor lights, the rhythm of water, and the hum of human presence—while abstraction allows the viewer to inhabit their own memory of arrival or farewell. The painting is not a document of place, but of sensation: the bittersweet realization that something extraordinary is being left behind, preserved only in feeling.
This limited edition, signed print translates the depth and vitality of the original work with exceptional fidelity, offering collectors the opportunity to own a piece of an experience that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. It is a work that rewards contemplation—one that continues to unfold over time, much like the memories it honors.
