This body of work, “Boreal Relationships”, is focused on the species most affected by acid deposition in the Northeast United States and Southeast Canada. The subjects for the watercolors in this series are Brook Trout, Red-backed Salamander, Bicknell's Thrush, Red Spruce, Loon, Sugar Maple, and Mayfly. In these paintings, expressing viable relationships between affected life forms and pristine waterbodies, clean air, and pure cloud precipitation is key to the theme within the collection.
