Jamie Townsend
"With a few strokes, using a much too large paint brush, Jamie captures the style, movement, gesture, and mood of his subject. -Martin Jori (art collector, New York/Switzerland).
Jamie is our most local artist, with his home and studio right here on Breezy Hill Road! His work, much of which is inspired by the natural landscape and farmland of Vermont, can be seen all over the area. You can often find him building tea houses and doing sculpture out in the forests he has loved since his youth. Some prominent pieces include the large paintings at The Copper Fox and the mural at Smitty’s Chester Market.
Susan Osgood
I am a painter who enjoys drawing and printmaking as well − there even my best efforts at control bring surprise and delight. I find that the process of making art is a form of travel, giving the sense of being in unfamiliar territory, and the wonder of discovery. My intent is to create images evocative enough to stop the viewer, conjuring up heightened awareness, and suspending the sense of time, replacing it with pure fascination.
Susan divides her time between Vermont and Egypt, where she is helping to document ancient Egyptian temples in Luxor. Locally, her work is on display at Mitchell Giddings Fine Arts in Brattleboro.
Sabra Field
“I make it but you SEE it!”
Perhaps no artist is more identified with having captured Vermont’s pastoral qualities than Sabra Field. Sabra Field was born in 1935 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and she grew up in the metropolitan New York area. She has lived in Vermont since 1969 when she opened a studio to publish her hand-pulled wood block prints. Field was named an Extraordinary Vermonter by Governor Kunin in 1991 and received the 1999 Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts from Governor Dean. A complete collection of her prints, known as “The Sabra Field Collection”, is housed at the Middlebury College Museum of Art.
Adina Segal
“I create in order to find what I cannot otherwise see.”
Artist and educator, Adina Segal, fell in love with photography in high school. Watching an image slowly emerge in the darkroom’s warm glow was mesmerizing, sometimes surprising.
In 2018, Adina started experimenting with watercolor. Although the medium is altogether different, she continues to seek a sense of wonder, the same kind of wonder that drew her to photography. Throughout her art, Adina explores realms outside of daily life, spaces where there is room for the imagination to wander and memories to come to the surface.
Jared E. Pontz
My art is a representation and expression of the thoughts and feelings swirling around in my head, which makes them colorful, intense, busy and powerful. I think of my work as small bursts of energy. Each piece takes on a life of its own and ultimately ends up wherever my mind takes me. I also like to experiment with new methods and mediums, as I continue to learn and develop as an artist.
