Welcome to the Artist In Residence Co-op Blog Spot. We are a collective art gallery in Enosburg, Vermont that exhibits the work of over 40 local Vermont artists. Each month, a group of our members are selected as featured artists to showcase in the gallery foyer. This blog is an additional space to feature and discuss these artists and their work.

ANN ALLEN
"I started painting in 2001 when my children were away at college. While I was raising my family, I had always imagined myself painting some day, but didn't know where to start. I found a local art instructor who taught the 'Rob Boss' painting technique and enjoyed painting landscapes for awhile. But when I started painting with Mary a few years ago, it became a passion, rather than just a pastime, as I have found that paintings with people in them, while very challenging, has proven to be so much more rewarding for me when I am able to capture the essence of the person or child I am painting ." Ann shares gallery space with Mary Reed.
