Ainsworth, Pete - A1 Graphics
Like a lot of other kids growing up in Central Vermont, I started going to the Thunder Road with my family at a young age. I was intrigued by the speed and flair of the cars. With my family involved with several race teams, I became a permanent fixture at Thunder Road. At the age of 13, I was able to combine my passion for racing and art together, lettering local driversâ cars. In 1999, I turned my hobby into my career and started A-1 Graphics. For over 20 years, I have been dedicated to bringing high quality work at a fair price to racers along with businesses throughout our state.

My connection to Thunder Road is not only on a business level, itâs also on a personal level. As soon as I became old enough to drive, my family and I started our own race team competing for approximately 20 years in the Street Stock and Flying Tiger Divisions. Soon after I hung up my helmet, I was asked to trade it in for another seat, driving the tracks pace car.
Whether you have a race car or local business, you can be assured that my commitment continues to be making your image stand out among the crowd.
Avery, Jan
I grew up in Castleton, VT and started drawing and painting as a young child. This began my lifelong interest in art. I became fascinated with
different media and subjects. After a spending time rearing my family and pursuing my nursing career, I began to get serious with art. I studied reverse glass painting and watercolor with Bernadette Eddy. I have received training at The Fletcher Farm School in Ludlow and have studied with many accomplished artists.
I traveled to Provence, France in 1992 for two weeks of classes. I loved the landscapes and townships we were able to paint while touring
the region. I have participated in summer workshops and weekly art classes in the spring and fall.

Babic, Katie
I'm a born and raised Vermonter and For as long as I can recall I have fused art and nature synchronously. After graduating from St.Lawrence University with a Masters in Counseling and Human Development and a BA in Fine Arts and Education, I returned to Vermont, married my high school sweetheart and started a family.In 2020, I began a new chapter in my life when I made the choice to stay home with my three young children. During this time, I reconnected with my creative process and landed on the cathartic exercise called âpullingâ.âPulledâ is a term used by artists when printing a single print of their work. This technique is reflected in these âone-of-a-kindâ VT prints, as each one is individually created. Through the art of pulling on Vermontâs native hardwoods, I aim to share with you this wholehearted exchange that showcases natureâs hidden beauty. My work continues to be inspired by my love for where I live and for the many hidden gems that surround me.ENJOY THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS YOU! www.katiebabicdesigns.com

Burnes, Prudence
I was fortunate enough to be born in Barre, Vt and lived in or close-by my entire life.
I attended Goddard College, studying art and other interesting subjects; but am primarily self-taught as an artist. Painting has been a focus for me as far back as I can remember.
For nearly thirty years, I was self-employed as an etcher in the Barre granite industry. It was a privilege and an honor to work with some of the finest artists and artisans, continuing a history that also honored my family heritage. Over that time period, over 10,000 pieces were produced. Often creating the single most important piece of art purchased by these families and communities to commemorate loved ones or historic, life-changing events.
My paintings have been exhibited and collected throughout New England, NY, Martha's Vineyard and Ireland.
I am currently working in acrylics, watercolor and oil.
Cecchinelli, Giuliano
Christensen, Cynthia & Bullett, Bee
My love for bright colors blossomed as a child, inspired by my mother and grandmother, in a world of sewing.
I made clothes, bed covers/curtains, and stuffed animals. For all my 64 years, I have loved exploring art, creating & making, writing & photography, while working in healing arts, licensed as an acupuncturist for 14 years. What a unique blessing to draw, while working full time, eight years, as an operator on our Vermont Support Line.
And then at 62, something new! I launched my art website, and online store, cynthiachristensenart.com. Paper, Canvas Wrap, Wood, Metal, Acrylic, Merchandise prints, and commissions are available.
Using markers & pens, I love drawing colorful, detailed animals/nature inspired abstracts. Originals are drawn with Sharpie, Tom Brow, Dual Brush, Markers to lay down colors, highlighted with Uniball Gold, White, and Silver pens, on 18" x 24" Heavyweight, Swarthmore Drawing Paper.
Markers & pens are not as expensive as some art supplies and travel easily.
Each drawing takes about a week, inspired by seasons, events in my life & others.
I am touched when Collectors choose my art honoring special occasions
such as weddings, graduations, birthdays, holidays, reunions, gifts to self,
or for those experiencing health/life challenges.
My art is now in 28 states across the US and Canada.
Future dreams include seeing my art in hospitals, patient rooms, healing spaces, shelters,
and other community spaces where spirits need uplifting.

Ford, Chris
I've lived in Barre my whole life. I graduated from Vermont Technical College in 1980 and became a draftsman for Lane Sawmills, at the former Smith, Whitcomb, and Cook Co. As a hobby, and for extra spending money, I worked on and began lettering race cars. By 1983, it became a lucrative side business. In 1985 I went completely on my own in the sign trade. Through the late 80's and into the early 90's, well before computers were of any real assistance, I would hand letter 30 to 40 race cars in a season, at my peak.
As vinyl took over, more people started in the business. The prestige of a sign man began to wear off. I fell back into my craftsmanship roots and currently find my niche in the design and manufacture of quality signs. These days I only do a handful of race cars. However, I've had the good fortune to have hand lettered several restored coupes. Most, for the Lloyd Hutchins collection and for Paul Zampieri, of which includes the #13 Ronny Marvin car.

Being born and raised in Waterbury Center, Vermont contributed to becoming an artist of nature. My art training began early at the hands (and brush) of my father, Artist Leon Griffith. Though he died when I was only 17, he imparted in me respect and appreciation for nature and my initial interest in art.
Graduating magna cum laude in college, I minored in art and continued taking art classes in many other venues. Though my professional life was diverted to a career in public service, I eventually made art my second career. My art career consists of non-stop exhibiting and networking. In addition, Iâve been juried into many art exhibits such as Southern Vermont Art Center, The Art Complex Museum, Duxbury, MA, Art in the Round Barn, Waitsfield, VT, various shows at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, VT, Studio Place Arts, Barre, VT, Vermont Governorâs Office, Chaffee Art Center in Rutland, VT, Gruppe Gallery, Jericho, VT, Arabellaâs Gallery, Windsor, VT and T.W. Wood Gallery, Montpelier. Other achievements include being juried into the University of Vermont Medical Center Annual Artist Calendar in 2013 and for 2016 as well as being selected to be an Artist in Residence for the Appalachian Mountain Club, Highland Center, Crawford Notch, NH.
In addition, I am a past President of the Vermont Pastel Society, past Board member of the T. W. Wood Art Gallery and Museum, ongoing juried member of the Pastel Society of America, a member of the Vermont Pastel Society, Art Resource Association, Studio Place Arts, T.W. Wood Gallery and Bryan Memorial Gallery.
Painting in pastel, oil and acrylic, my art has been described as magical realism. Oil painting was the first medium I fell in love with as a child, enjoying the sensation of oils gliding over a smooth surface with a fine brush. A few years ago, I fell in love with the physical intimacy of pastel as well as the vibrancy of the colors.
Hambleton, Tracey J. With Barre-Rana, Granitum Lapidarius (Granite Stone Cutter Frog)
From the depths of sparkling waters rises this springtime peeper. Found primarily around the famed granite quarries in Barre, Vermont. Bring one to your own back yard.
Iâve been a practicing plein air painter since 2010. For most of the year, I take a small tripod mounted easel and my painting supplies outside. My focus has been to explore deeply the familiar views around my home â initially Marshfieldâs meadows and mountains, and now the working landscape and farms in East Montpelier.
During 2021 and 2022 I was an Artist in Residence at Studio Place Arts in Barre. During the 11 months of the residency, I painted many neighborhoods in Barre, historic architecture, and the granite quarries.
If weather keeps me inside, I find inspiration from the views outside my windows. I scout often, walking or driving, and use my photos from these forays for my studio work. My challenge is always to maintain the freshness of a plein air painting, the spontaneity of my brushwork, and the feel of the paint itself.

Hutchins, Ann with "Sunset Coupe" before decorating It.
I have always loved to create, whether it was art class, interior design, establishing a business (Lajeunesse Interiors) in 1980, personal landscape design work, floral design and quilting. And more recently, I've learned a variety of historic early American decorating techniques that are painted on trays and furniture. It is always fun to learn something new and keep the creative process going. Being a part of the BARRE ART SPLASH is very exciting. Decorating a vintage coupe as an artistic design will be challenging while at the same time it will be enjoyable to create!

He recently took up painting during the Pandemic and likens it to playing golf. Both are artistic in their own way. The good thing about painting is, you can't hit the golf ball into the water when painting! Click here to see Roger's video.
Kiniry, Linda
I grew up in Vermont and only start painting as an adult. I enjoy painting with multiple mediums. When I am working, I totally lose time and myself in the creative process. Bernadette Eddy was my earliest mentor. She taught me Eglomise or Reverse Glass Painting and Faberge' styled eggs. Later I took many workshops and classes at galleries, art organizations and attended Fletcher Farm School for the Arts and Crafts.
I enjoy working with watercolor, acrylic, oils and pastels. Most of my present work is in pastels and oils. I work with my husband in our Arts and Carving business, decorating Santas that are carved from cypress trees. I enjoy the challenge of working with the shapes that mother nature has given us.
I am a member of the Paletteers, Vermont Hand Crafters, Vermont Pastel Society, SPA and the Wood Art gallery. I served twice as president and many years on the board of the Paletteers, six years on the Vermont Hand Crafters board and as a board member at large for the Vermont Pastel Society.

I have reconnected to my love of painting and have been exploring ways to connect my painting with natural landscapes. I find
inspiration in nature and our natural environment. I employ a combination of land, sky and water to capture the natural world and its peaceful inspiration primarily through the use of soft pastels.
I am particularly inspired to create works of art for families with a personal connection to a landmark or location. The site that holds special meaning in the family history or experience.

Mascitti, Paul
My family's Barre roots go back to the very early 1900's when my great grandfather migrated here from Italy to start his own granite business. He was especially good at carving roses by hand out of granite and, at $25 a piece, that became his focus until his untimely passing in the 1940's. With my grandfather and father also working within the granite industry, it seemed to make sense that I would follow suit. While spending time learning monumental drafting, I just couldn't keep my mind away from my true passion: designing race cars! - I loved looking at the fantastic race car lettering that local guys like Chris Ford, Orton Patch and the Lefleche family over in Graniteville did for racers in the region, and I like to think I still draw inspiration from them even today! Mascitti Brothers was born when my brother and I noticed a local need for a reliable source for office, truck, and motor sports vinyl lettering where the customer could tell the company was interested in fulfilling their needs to their liking no matter how small.
Paul will be doing the three cars below, # 71, Bobby Draggon, # 15 Joey Laquerre & # 18 Stub Faddon.

Randall, Allison
I was born and raised in Barre, VT. Growing up I had always wanted to become a professional artist. My parents' construction business, Randall Contracting Inc., gave me my first opportunity to use painting as a way to make money. The first gig I can remember was painting the windows in their renovation of Studio Place Arts when I was 14. Graduating from Spaulding High School in 2004, I pursued a degree in Multimedia and Graphic Design at Champlain College in Burlington, VT. I have always had a passion for fine arts, taking every opportunity to fill every elective I could with art classes. Sitting down at a computer never sparked my interests, however, and I came back to my roots as a painter for my family's construction company. Specializing in historic renovations and then also federal contracts at the Burlington courthouse, I eventually began doing my own independent painting in residential and local area businesses. I have had a lifelong connection to small business in Barre through my father and through those relationships I have been commissioned to make quite a few murals along the way. I have two large murals in the former Project Independence in Barre, and another small mural in Our House. For the last two years I have turned to a career working as a butter maker at Vermont Creamery and have left painting to remain as a hobby. Along the way I have become a mother to two amazing boys, Javion (10) and Tre'shaun (5). Motherhood has been my main focus and love, where I share my passion for art with my children every chance I get.
Ravenhorst- Adams, Kathy
KATHRENA RAVENHORST-ADAMS
ARTIST
âI wish through my art to celebrate the wonder and beauty of nature, to call
attention to its intricate details, infinite variety, power and fragility.
âMy expression of nature through art reflects the joy and peace and beauty of
the natural world and my concern for it under the hand of humankind.
âIt is my hope that through my art others may gain a similar appreciation for all of
creation and realize and accept their responsibility for the care and protection of it.â
Kathrena Ravenhorst-Adams enjoys working in watercolor, pastel and oil. She has taught watercolor for many years and is active in and exhibits with many artist groups including the Paletteers, the Vermont Pastel Society, the Vermont Watercolor Society, and several local artist groups.

Rielly, Chyenne
Hailing from rural Vermont, Chyenne Rielly is accustomed to glamorizing the obscene things found in the deep dark woods. Chyenneâs emotive artwork embraces both the imagination of childhood and the adult forbidden by materializing a complex struggle to survive the mundane. Originally from Barre, Chyenne graduated from Spaulding High School in 2019 and completed the first year of college at the Community College of Vermont in the same year. Chyenneâs illustrative self-portraiture channels memories of her upbringing as well as her day-to-day through vibrant oil paints and a youthful guise of exaggeration.
Chyenneâs current work often explores the themes of mental health and queer identity through both whimsy and satire. In May of 2022, Rielly earned a Bachelor Degree of Fine Art in painting from Maine College of Art & Design. Nowadays Chyenne hangs out in her Portland-based home studio listening along to gruesome true-crime podcasts while sketching out her latest silly little drawings. When not making art, Chyenne works as a security officer at the largest hospital in Maine and absolutely revels in the chaos of it all. Chyenne visits Barre often to see family and still has strong ties throughout the community.

Jim Thompson is an educator, musician and artist who has lived most of his life in Montpelier, Vermont. His unique kites are a wonder to see: a menagerie of beasts and birds and an occasional human. Although he made a few kites in the early 70âs, it wasnât until March of 2011 that he took up the craft in earnest after a neck injury left him out of work and unable to perform music. Since then, he and his kites have been featured in many publications, on radio, and on WCAX TVâs âMade in Vermontâ segment. Two of his kites were featured in an exhibit of kites from around the world at the Eretz Museum in Tel Aviv, Israel.
