Carolyn Egeli began painting farm scenes as a child at her family farm in Valley Lee. The youngest of 5 children of Bjorn and Lois Egeli, Carolyn’s portraiture and landscapes were informed by the studio as much as the land. From “Lance” to “fields” and showcasing as well some of her more recent paintings of Vermont farms, including her own Brainstorm Farm, Carolyn will share with you her long-standing affection for farm scenes and farm communities.

Wines: From ABC Winey served with two of Carolyn’s favorite Vermont cheeses from Vermont Creamery. One of the original farms, Ayers Brooks Farm is 3 miles from Brainstorm Farm and Miles Hooper is a goat farmer and the son of Allison Hooper who founded the Vermont Creamery.
