Vermont Artisan Designs
August 2017
August is a great time to visit Vermont Artisan Designs. This month, the gallery features the original work of Will Moses, Grandma Moses’ great-grandson, along with his serigraphs, puzzles and books. It’s unusual to see this many original paintings by Will and visitors have been captivated by their detail and whimsy.
Another artist with ties to folk art is Lisa Curry Mair, whose painting career has focused mainly on floor cloths. She is now doing paintings of New England including images of fox hunting and village life.
Nils Johnson, an attorney with a love for painting, has included landscapes and portraits in this show.
Kat O’Brien’s hand-drawn images on mugs and bowls from the Hickory Ridge Pottery round out the featured work for August. As always, a visit to Vermont Artisan Designs on Main Street in Brattleboro will introduce you to the work of hundreds of local and regional artisans.
