About the studio

"The Barn" was designed and built by the artist on the foundation of the colonial era (1775) cow barn that was destroyed by Rhode Island's 1938 hurricane. After the storm, the barn area and surrounding field was abandoned, gradually returning to woods throughout the remainder of the 20th century. The foundation site was restored by the artist in 1988 and the current section of the barn constructed, based on study of colonial era outbuildings. The structure is New England pine.
