Artist working with oil, wood and snow
Studios
I am the senior occupant of the Box Studio, a shared art studio in Burlington Vt. (corner of Marble Ave and Pine St.) I make my oil paintings in this space. There are other painters/sculptors, musicians and a photographer that use the studio as well.
I have a a barn in Winooski Vt. It needs some structural and cosmetic TLC. I currently use it as wood shop and storage for art work. I have designs to maintain a workshop and create an exhibition area that is open to the public to showcase my work and hopefully other's.
Snow Sculpture
During the deep winter months I collaborate with team mates to compete in timed art contests using hand tools and snow. Competitors come from around the globe to participate and try to gain the glory of a 1st place win! It is a great community. Im truly grateful to be a part of it.
