j.morgan puett - part one: mildred's lane



J.Morgan Puett and her artists colony
Mildred's Lane in Pennsylvania

(sometimes we come across something/someone
that is so inspiring - something that makes us think -
this is exactly what it's about)







set in 96 acres, the house and outbuildings have been
transformed beautifully - a living working environment
for artists to collaborate and learn

surroundings becoming art
art becoming surroundings
constantly evolving

monday morning


it feels very much like autumn this morning
the last little flower on our orchid is now all papery
so I took a polaroid of it before it died

glenn has been chopping & stacking wood for our woodburner
and we have started to make work ready for xmas events

I have posted out all of the mydeco lantern orders I got last week
and now I have gallery lantern orders to do
(I'll tell you more about one of them soon).

we are working on a few new designs for commissions too at the
moment, so we'll keep you posted as and when they happen
and look out for details soon of where you can come and see us at shows
this autumn & winter.

we took the table & benches to a lovely little cottage in
Stow-on-the-Wold a few months ago for the shoot
and the photographs look great.

Gabrielle Goodchild


thankyou to everyone that came to see us at the
Welcombe Open Studios '09 and for visiting all the other artists too.
We really enjoyed this years event
and it was great to have new studios open this year too.

There is still a wonderful exhibition on in Welcombe at the village hall
until the 6th September of Gabrielle Goodchilds new work, with some
guest artists too. Gabrielle produces beautiful etchings but this year
is exhibiting some stunning new paintings, full of deep colours, darkness and stories.
