Installed 4 sculptures at George Champion Modern Shop
in Woodbury, Connecticut today.
After 4 museum exhibitions, this is my first gallery show and
first selling show. Hogpen Hill Farms LLC, my farm and
sculpture garden, is also in Woodbury, which is in Litchfield
County in northwest Connecticut. Litchfield County is sometimes
described as the “Hamptons for people who like privacy.”
I like the area because of its open spaces and many farms,
artist residents, historical preservation, quality of workers,
and The French Ovens, an excellent bakery.

I enjoy the large fish sculpture each morning of my commute down Main street Woodbury. I’m glad the
antiques shop next door felt the same way.
Only after many years of building do I now fully appreciate the art of design. Even from these few pictures I can feel the scale (Fish) of the work and the placement of the objects relative to the building enterence.
Aside from anything else, it’s a happy fish. It’s a fish that seems (given the medium) to be *wryly and permanently amused* by something.
