The governor recently called Brandon "The Art and Soul of Vermont" - and for good reason. In and around town you'll find folk artists, fabric artists, computer artists, super realists, nonrepresentational expressionists, workers in traditional decorative arts, watercolor, jewelry, pottery, glass, sculpture, print makers, photographers...Well, you get the idea!
Our little town has become one of the most exciting places to experience art in the state of Vermont - if not the entire Northeast! |
| Laura Rideout is a self-taught staind glass artist who lived in Alaska for over 20 years. As a child I was given a blanket to lie on and told to watch the clouds. This became the inspiration for my original stained glass artwork I call "clouds." Each is unique and indiviaually handcrafted. My attic studio, Art on a Whim, is open by appointment or chance, and I am open to the journey of creating a cloud or window, with it's own unique personality, just for you. |
