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.

"Home Town Gets a Dose of Life"
The city officials unanimously decided to allow sculpture to be displayed at the City Park in Glens Falls NY. miChelle M. Vara of 6 Ballard Road Art Studio Wilton, will be installing the first metal sculpture called “Life” to ever be displayed by the city on July 1st at 2 pm on Ridge St. Throughout the application process miChelle met many residents that fully supported the cultural project and plan to attend the Home Town excitement.
