Paintings of Places

Gail Kolflat’s series of place-based paintings captures the quiet, familiar rhythms of life along the Jersey Shore. Drawing inspiration from beaches, the Asbury Park boardwalk, and the ever-present ocean, her work moves between public and private spaces—sunlit backyards, suburban streets, and coastal edges. Through these scenes, Kolflat explores a sense of memory, locality, and the subtle emotional landscape of living near the water.
