Area Artist Exhibits At The Berlin Free Town Library

The Berlin Free Town Library is currently hosting an exhibit of paintings and ceramics by local artist Gregory Winterhalter.
Born in New York City, Winterhalter moved to southern Vermont in the 1970s and is currently a resident of White Creek. He has been a faculty member in the Humanities Division at Southern Vermont College in Bennington since 1980. He works in multiple media (oil, acrylic, tempera, wax encaustic, watercolor, drawing media, handmade paper, printmaking and multi-media). In recent years, he has worked as a ceramic artist in stoneware and porcelain.
A graduate of Boston University School of Fine Arts, where he received a BFA, Winterhalter went on to receive his MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Graduate College of Art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. He received a fine arts scholarship from the Skowhegan School of the Arts in Maine, where he studied with several internationally known painters.
Winterhalter said that much of his early training was with expressionist and Abstract Expressionist artists. His work could be described as figurative expressionism mixed with cultural eclecticism. He has exhibited his work regionally for more than 30 years, including the Sloan Kettering Institute in New York City, the Bennington Center for the Arts and the Bennington Museum in Vermont.
The exhibit is open for viewing during Library hours through April 2.
