STUDIO

The work featured above was developed during my summer residency at the Vermont Studio Center from June 30th to July 25th.

ABOUT

Vermont Studio Center was founded by artists Fred Osborne, Jon Gregg, and Louise von Weise in 1984. Nestled within the northern Green mountains, the residency program—originally named Vermont Studio School—welcomed its first cohort on June 18, 1984. In 1990 the School was renamed Vermont Studio Center and reorganized as a 501(c)3 non-profit with a board of trustees.

VSC later formed an Artists Advisory Committee with Nell Blaine, Helen Frankenthaler, Wolf Kahn, Emily Mason, Alice Neel, Isamu Noguchi, Larry Rivers, James Rosati, George Segal, Frank Stella, George Sugarman, Takao Tanabe, Harold Town, Esteban Vicente, and Neil Welliver. They drew upon their networks in NYC and elsewhere to form the roster for a Visiting Artists program.

Today, VSC’s actions and policies remain grounded in the universal values of humanitarianism, compassion, respect, simplicity, and harmony. VSC embodies these values and integrates them into all aspects of the organization’s existence. The campus is preserved and developed in accord with environmental and ecological standards, and reflects Northern Vermont traditions of respect for nature, modest comfort, privacy, beauty, and an unhurried way of life.
