The Studio

(2 apartments are now available for short-term rental; the studio is on the garden level.)

Introducing Angelo, sitting over (guarding) the studio door.

Ruth Mulcahy, recently moved to Boston, is certified in the LifeLine Technique and is employing her skills and wisdom to create wonderful new spiritual jewelry (coming soon).

Kathee Keisselbach is our Manager (for lack of a better title) and "Woman for All Seasons." She is also a skilled printmaker (among many other accomplishments). Here's an image of one of her wood engravings, "Brocka in Winter," her Newfie Emeritus, and her grand-duck (not sure of her job description - "Cute Nuisance? Quack?).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Pam Kirkham is our Go-To Person for anything from making Anachrons to updating web pages. She is an extraordinary artist, teacher, student, life-guard (!), singer. Here's an image of one of her small watercolors of grapes, using wine and grape vines for pigments (how cool!) and her two assistants in their youth, before they found their vocations as Comforters and Distractors.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cammy Canis (my grand dog) and her partner, Charlie Barker, frequent visitors to the studio, are always willing to help in whatever way they can. They are serving as guard dogs in one pic and role models for joie de vivre (or "Labs Can go Wild") in the other.

These pics were taken from the studio window. I have no idea who these guys are, but they come over here every day and just hang out.

Soon, I will find them gainful employment.
