Spring into art !

I am glad to say this spring has shaped up to be like no other. The collector parties (sales) and private invites to travel, show, teach and speak have been wonderfully exhilarating.

I wanted to extend my grate appreciation & thank everyone for sharing and making all the fun.

Life is supposed to be fun!

News Artical for Sculpture called "the Guide"

Adirondack Museum acquires new artwork with an old flair

WILTON - Artist miChelle M. Vara used the Adirondack Museum’s logo as inspiration for “The Guide,” a one-of-a-kind sculpture designed and made specially for the museum in Blue Mountain Lake.
The sculpture is intended to capture Adirondack history and the relationship between the wilderness and a guide’s life.
It is 12 feet tall, 15 feet long and five feet wide. It is made with re-thought metal, colored in translucent paint and finished with clear.
Vara has done many historical pieces using recycled metals, funded through grants and the private sector. She chooses metal for its past history to tell a story by way of unconscious perception.
The sculpture was released to the museum July 30.
