Sarah Robinson is showing her photography in the greenhouse

"Sarah Robinson views art as a process of rendering the unseen visible and the unheard audible. The art experience for the artist and the viewer can, at its best, enable the Touching  of that juncture between the DSC_0052 (3) strangler culturally conditioned quotidian and our inner spirits, and, thereby opening the doorway between the everyday and the universal in our lives.  As an artist, Ms. Robinson finds this process deeply moving and motivating.

Ms. Robinson was born in Grand Isle County, and, is a VT Native with ancestors dating back to the founding of Bennington, the Revolutionary War, and the subsequent settlement of South Hero, and history.  She has been a photographer and fine artist all her life, and was accepted into fine arts 4 yr college program based on her painting and drawing portfolio from High School, but chose to enter an anthropology career at that juncture, subsequently her art was, until recently, more of a hobby than a vocation.  Ms Robinson continued to paint and draw over the years but did not show her work, choosing rather to give it as gifts, and her photography was focused heavily on her academic interests with some art photography taken now and then as it DSC_0076.pearonbeach struck her, and she did a stint in photojournalism, in conjunction with a journalism reporting job in the 1990s.

Ms. Robinson’s Photography covers a wide range.  Her landscapes are characterized by the openness of sky and the use of line.  Her portraits are candid and have a sense of spontaneity.  Her nature work has a keen eye for design in detail, as well as enigma.  Her paintings and charcoal, pencil, and pastel are full of emotion at the same time that they attend to the details of nature, light, and (often the human) form.  Ms. Robinson looks forward to sharing her new creations with the public in the coming years."


The dining room features photography by Sterling Christopher Lisle "This series of photographs was inspired bu the diversity of the Vermont landscape and challenging preconceived notions of aesthetics.  It is the duality of Utahgun modern landscape as man interacts with nature often dismissed as mundane, that jumps out at me in its irony.  I use the camera frame to abstract the natural world as it interacts with man made objects from their reality gives a new interpretation on the seemingly insignificant."
