The artist's Venice apartment had a roof deck which quickly became a favorite evening gathering place for its residents. This piece depicts the rooftop view of a canal below, where the same bright red boat was always parked. The shading on this etching was created with aquatint and the red boat is handpainted.
Dee Bowers attended the Pratt in Venice program in 2013 while earning dual Master's degrees in Art History and Library Science. They are currently an archivist for the Brooklyn Collection at Brooklyn Public Library.
