Outdoor Collection

The acres of meadow and forest surrounding the gallery are host to a growing and changing exhibit of outdoor sculptures. As time progresses, our grounds will develop into a sculpture park, complete with a sculpture woods walk. These original sculptures are all available for purchase with the exception of "Twin" which can be made as a custom edition for your space.

Mark Wholey

Mark Wholey studied drawing and design at Butera School of Art in Boston in 1965, before moving to California, where he earned a BFA in sculpture from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1990.  In California he taught, worked as a graphic designer, and participated in several exhibitions.  Studying in Italy in 1989, he worked in Padova, and in 1994 he moved to Umbria, where he restored an old stone farmhouse.  He created paintings, constructed art out of marble and steel, and exhibited work in Florence, Padova, and Cortona.  He has been a curator and juror of art, published written reviews, and served as a board member for various art associations.  Wholey has shown extensively throughout the United States, completed large scale projects, and he has placed permanent sculptures abroad.  One of Wholey’s latest works, a fourteen foot tall perforated steel sculpture titled Hephaestus Rising can be seen through September 2016 on South Main Street in Providence, Rhode Island, selected as part of the I-195 Relocation project.  He will also be exhibiting at Van Essen Gallery in Tiverton, RI.  The show opens September 5th.

Gail Fredell

I am a fourth generation native Californian, born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Architecture in 1974, and after four years of working as a general contractor, I returned to school and received my MFA in Woodworking and Furniture Design from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1980. Since then I have pursued a career of studio furniture work, education and arts administration.  I have maintained workshops in the Bay Area, the mountains of Colorado and North Carolina, and now Fall River, MA. I have taught extensively in workshop programs across the country, and from 1993 to 2001 I served as the Furniture Program Director at Anderson Ranch Arts Center near Aspen, CO. In 2012 I was invited to teach in the Foundation Studies and Furniture Design Departments at RISD, and I have since then moved permanently to the area and continue to teach part-time at the College. I live in Westport Point, MA and work at the Smokestack Studios in Fall River, MA. My furniture is in the permanent collections of SF MOMA, the Oakland Museum, The Fuller Craft Museum, Stanford University Memorial Chapel and The AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park. I am currently a Faculty member in the Furniture Design and Foundation Studies departments at Rhode Island School of Design, and continue to design and build commissioned and speculative furniture work at Smokestack Studios in Fall River, MA.

Nancy Winship Miliken

Nancy Winship Milliken is a sculptor creating site-specific work in urban and rural landscapes. Her archetypal structures pair ephemeral, organic materials such as wool, wax, and honey with industrial components such as steel. Milliken's environmentally performative sculptures reveal the actions of wind, rain, and sun as they transform her shapes and materials, adding an element of time. Sometimes she invites animal and human interaction.

Milliken’s use of natural and industrial materials stems from her interest in rural art, agriculture, and sustainable living. These were brought together through the lens of a Masters in Fine Arts degree in 2008 from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, with residencies at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Along with installing her work in New England and New Zealand farmland, Milliken has shown in solo and select group shows, including Boston Sculptors Gallery, Artstrand Gallery, the Christian Science Plaza in Boston, Qorikancha Museum, Peru, Provincetown Art Association Museum, University Museum of Contemporary Art, and Brattleboro Museum. She incorporates her sculptures into set design for Double Edge Theatre in Ashfield, Massachusetts. 

She has given guest lectures, studio visits, and has been an Artist-In-Residence at several schools, universities and galleries including Burlington City Arts, University of Massachusetts, University of Vermont, Marlboro College, Amherst College, and Hampshire College.

For her newest project, Contemporary Pastoralism, Milliken has traded studio for farm to work collaboratively with farmers and their animals to create site-responsive installations and performance documentation.

Milliken is represented by Boston Sculptors Gallery.
