In May 2019, Jacinta Bunnell traveled to the Bay of Fundy for an artist retreat, invited by her longtime friend, photographer Deborah DeGraffenreid, who had always wanted to witness this specific natural wonder due to its claim of having the highest tidal range in the world. During their retreat, Jacinta spent a quiet week working at a worn, simple desk in a rustic cabin, soaking in the stunning surroundings. This body of work is inspired by intentional time spent in a place where one might look down and find a hint of amethyst on the beach or look up and catch the Northern Lights dazzling in the sky.

A significant part of Jacinta's art has always involved found paper, and this mixed-media collection is no exception. She brought minimal supplies with her, primarily consisting of various ephemera passed down to her by artists Parvaneh & Richard Holloway. These paper relics were originally owned by Fritz Trams, the Treasurer of the High Woods Sportsman’s Club in the 1970s, and were later inherited by the Holloways when they purchased Tram’s Saugerties home. The gift included bank statements from a now-defunct Saugerties bank, handwritten notes from club members, canceled checks, and stamped envelopes—all of which Jacinta transformed with layers of paint, ink, and found imagery.

The High Woods Sportsman’s Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting conservation efforts, safe firearm and archery usage, and nurturing youth's interest in these subject areas. Jacinta's upbringing involved exposure to sportsman’s clubs through her father and stepfather, both avid hunters in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This upbringing familiarized her with firearms from a young age. As a child, it was not uncommon for Jacinta to open a closet or garage and find a collection of guns. She learned how to shoot clay pigeons from her father’s back porch. In an attempt to change the narrative of predominantly male and gun-centric spaces, Jacinta intentionally incorporates images of flowers and soft colors into her work.
