Original Description
Mary Clare Sherwood's Highwater is a mesmerizing contemporary acrylic painting that captures the sublime tension between fluidity and stasis. Created in 2020, the work exemplifies Sherwood's signature aquatic abstract style — a dance of translucent blues, teals, and silvered whites that mimics the liminal moment when rising tides engulf coastal landscapes. The layered brushwork suggests both movement and depth, achieving what critics describe as "liquid geology," a hallmark of her fluid realism approach that bridges abstract expressionism with environmental art. Represented by New York's prestigious Heller Gallery, Sherwood's work gained recognition for translating climate change narratives into visually poetic compositions; Highwater specifically was exhibited in the 2021 Aqua Mobilia group show addressing rising sea levels. Its interplay of vulnerability and beauty positions it within the growing canon of ecologically conscious 21st-century art.
When incorporating Highwater into interiors, its 36" × 48" vertical format makes it ideal for statement walls in spaces with 9-10ft ceilings. The painting's cool aquatic palette harmonizes beautifully with mid-century modern furniture in walnut tones or coastal-inspired decor featuring bleached wood and linen textures. For offices, pair it with matte black frames and minimalist steel furniture to heighten its contemporary edge, while residential spaces benefit from organic elements like rattan lighting or terrazzo surfaces that echo its watery textures. Position the work in north-facing rooms where natural light enhances its shimmering qualities without glare, or install directional LED spotlights (3000K temperature) to emphasize the painting's tactile brushstrokes. In open-plan areas, use its blues as an anchoring hue for cushions or ceramics, creating a cohesive yet unobtrusive color narrative.
