"Trees and vines are an endless source of fascination for me. Their branches can be complicated and messy, yet they remain elegant, like the frozen movements of a dance. I paint the birds around me. In Vermont, birds are jewels, shimmering amidst the gray branches, floating on blue-gray water, or hidden in the dense greenery. In the South, they are large and flamboyant and everywhere.

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.
