To Dance with Paint – Bill Hardy

I first met Bill Hardy when he was working at Millbrook School; I approached him about life drawing classes, which were hard to find 18 years ago in this area. He generously helped us, a group of artists, and we had many delightful evening sessions quietly working alongside him. Hardy grew up in San […]

Rowena Gill: Dumpster Queen

When you walk into Rowena Gill’s Millbrook atelier, you are most likely to find her in the garden, at her table, intricately cutting fabrics, sewing silk thread, or attaching 50 small buttons to a boned corset. As she greets you, she tilts her head, sizing you up for an idea of fabric and style. […]

A Walk on the Wild Side – Tony Henneberg

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, […]

Stepping into Vincent Inconiglios’s light-filled stone barn studio on Music Mountain in Falls Village, CT, reveals multimedia collages, gathered objects, and paintings.
