Lucy Merra-Coe

I am a Cape Cod artist, living and working on a small island year round. I am inspired by the ever-shifting landscapes of the beaches and dunes. I love to paint in oils en plein air. This medium allows for constant manipulation. Like working with clay, it gives me the ability to represent the distinct textures, colors and atmospheres found on the Cape. In particular, I am drawn to landscapes that include distant houses or structures that have stories and histories of their own. E-mail me for more information regarding my monthly open studios.
