Wild Woman, photograph by C. L. Martin

 

The bones of Martha’s Vineyard are laid bare where the ocean kisses the south shore at the cliffs of Aquinnah.  Natural earth colors glow in a tapestry that has inspired artists across the centuries.  In this show, Cobalt Gallery has compiled old and new, representational and abstract art of and inspired by the Gay Head cliffs.
