In the West End
Catherine Skowron

Rather than presenting each artist in a separate section, works are arranged to highlight both shared themes and individual perspectives. From the streets of Provincetown to its harbor, shoreline, open waters, and evening skies, the exhibition unfolds as a journey through the places and light of the Outer Cape.
Home appears here not as a single subject, but through three distinct relationships to place.
Catherine Skowron attends to Provincetown’s streets, cottages, dunes, and shoreline, finding character in familiar settings. Brenda Silva turns toward the working waterfront, family history, Portuguese traditions, and the communal life shaped around them. Ed Walsh looks to the Cape through light, weather, tide, and atmosphere, where the landscape itself is continually changing.
Seen together, the works suggest that home can be geographic and communal, observed closely or experienced through movement and changing conditions. The exhibition’s interwoven arrangement keeps those perspectives in conversation, allowing points of connection to emerge without collapsing their differences.
Four works establish the exhibition’s central conversation through place, community, and changing light.

My first view in 1968 of these outer lands—a town and its people sheltered against wild dunes—was magical. The sight captured my heart and imagination. I immediately knew this place would be my home. My natural curiosity brought delight in exploring every inch of it. I grew inspired to share my discoveries—the wild views, the wildlife, the townscape—with others through a variety of mediums: teaching, serving as a park ranger, and creating paintings and white-line prints. — Catherine Skowron
What inspires and motivates me to paint is looking at my heritage and the life associated with those who made a living from the sea. I choose bright colors to bring life to a time that is slowly fading away. I show the toll taken on the boats as a reminder of the rugged lives of those who chose the sea, and the hardships they endure. — Brenda Silva
The harbor at first light, the dunes turning gold, the water manifesting tones I’ve never seen before: Provincetown never, ever, disappoints. Doing justice to such multi-dimensional magnificence on a two-dimensional surface remains a driving force for me. — Ed Walsh
