These paintings hold the landscapes that have long shaped her work: Wagon Hill Farm in Durham, Parker River, Plum Island, and the nameless little views caught from the side of the road. Custer works both en plein air and from memory, treating the gap between looking and mark-making as an opening rather than a limitation — a wildly bold pink, a slant of light exaggerated to the point of distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer paintings have been featured by Hyperallergic and Create!
