Nestled among the dunes and scattered across three miles of the Cape Cod National Seashore stand about 17 weather-beaten dune shacks. Many were built in the 1920's and 40's when Provincetown was becoming an art colony. The shacks have no electricity, no running water and are not easily accessible. The Atlantic with miles of deserted pristine beaches is about 100 yards away. Through the years, writers and artists have called the shacks home for months, even years-- Jack Kerouac, e.e. cummings, Mary Oliver, Eugene O'Neill, Annie Dillard, Jackson Pollock and Willem deKooning to name a few.

Suzanne Lewis was awarded an artist-in-residency there last summer. In this exhibit at Wally Workman Gallery, she charts her experience with stunning photographs, abstract paintings and a sense of humor. Lewis is a painter, photographer, writer and world traveler that lives and works in Austin, Texas.
