For Julie Gifford, painting is all about telling a story, whether real or imagined. "Path to the Sea" is a familiar moment to anyone that has walked the miles of Conservation Foundation land on the island. In bright soulful blues and lush greens, Julie Gifford's loose form rendering of this moment is reflected in both the sky and the distant sea.  The lighthouse on the horizon draws you in as you  imagine hearing the crash of the waves and feeling the chill of the salt air wind.
