Item Description

"Stars & Stripes" by Christiana Plum

Medium: Acrylic, Starfish, Shells

Size: 19" x 8"

Artist Statement:

The inspiration for Stars and Stripes is not only the beach but the fabulous Festival of Arts celebration itself. A fish is symbolic in many cultures. Locally, the cod is a symbol of prosperity; it's quintessential New England. This is a celebration of Marblehead, a tribute to who we are, a symbol of where we're from and an ode to a way of life. Hang it on your wall or give it to someone you love and know you've got a little piece of the beach and Marblehead with you wherever you are.
