People Profiles

  • I first met Tony Henneberg in 1993 when he was an artist in residence at Mashomack in Pine Plains, NY. His sometimes-life-sized watercolors stand alone as majestically as the subject he has chosen. I caught up with Henneberg in his Pine Plains studio to discuss his current season’s mycology work; given this unusually arid fall, I was curious about woodland changes and how the shifting environment may impact the places where he works and ultimately his own work. 

  • Pine Plains, NY, native Troi Cookingham enlisted in the Army in September of 2020. “My uncle served in the Army and passed away in 2015. I knew it was something that I had to do. When I enlisted, I had this surreal, ‘What did I just do?’ type of feeling. However, I felt such pride and a feeling of determination,” Troi said.
