During the summer of 2021, I set out from Essex, New York, on 12 mile trip on Patience, my Sisu '22 motorboat, to visit the Four Brothers (group of small, desolate islands in the middle ofLake Champlain) to retrieve a sample of driftwood from each island. Each island's driftwood bundle provided the "soul" of the Four Brothers Driftwood Horses... two of which have been sold. These are unique and inspiring pieces that reflect the purpose of Smiles Studio Arts -- a place and brand to inspire the mindful creative arts in each person through adventure art experiences while giving back to our environment.
Frances - Lake Champlain Driftwood Horse

I have always enjoyed the majesty of horses. Lake Champlain driftwood comes from public source beaches where, each spring, the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains of New York cast their woodland beauty to the Lake. Through ice flows and thaws, the public beaches become deep with piles of driftwood. Each May, the towns along the shore clean the beaches of winter debris into heaps that are buried or burned. Sculpturing provides an opportunity to bring found shore wood closer to us, preserving arrangements that perpetuate their natural beauty.
