Cedar Point Lighthouse Silhouette Art/Dune

Where Stone Meets Fog

This cut-paper silhouette by CEDAR Y SAND honors the Cedar Point Lighthouse—an 1868 granite landmark nestled within Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton, NY. Once guiding ships through the entrance to Gardiners Bay, its rugged form and coastal solitude are preserved here in layered paper and marbled ink. The silhouette is rendered in a dune-toned hue reminiscent of its weathered stone, set against a soft marbled wash of foggy blue-gray.

A Historic Beacon, Layered by Hand

Each background is hand-marbled using the Japanese suminagashi technique, where ink floats on water before being lifted onto paper. The resulting patterns suggest windblown tides and shifting shoreline fog. The lighthouse itself is cut from heavyweight art stock and layered atop this fluid backdrop—bringing together the permanence of structure and the movement of sea and air.

Matted & Ready for Framing

Professionally mounted in an archival off white mat (12×9") with an image area of 8.5 x 5.5", this piece is ready to frame. Its neutral dune and fog palette complements natural interiors, sun-washed rooms, and coastal gallery walls alike.

A Meaningful Gift from the East End

Whether for a lighthouse enthusiast, East Hampton local, or admirer of coastal minimalism, this artwork brings a gentle sense of place. Its blend of traditional technique and local history makes it a unique and thoughtful keepsake.
