Description

Maggie Heffernan presents a collection of illustrative oil paintings inspired by the textures, rhythms, and quiet beauty of coastal Delaware life. Centered around oysters as both subject and symbol, the exhibition explores shoreline textures, waterlines, and the subtle details of everyday coastal living.

Presented during Delaware Inland Bays Oyster Week, the exhibition also includes interactive acrylic painting workshops encouraging visitors to create their own oyster-inspired studies.
