Exploring art at Aberdeen Village “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” — Thomas Merton Aberdeen resident and artist Ed Duman has certainly found himself and lost himself in the art programs here at Aberdeen Village. Prior to moving to Aberdeen, Ed “dabbled” in art. When he moved to our community six years ago he was “bugged” by other residents to join the weekly art class held every Friday. Ed declined several times and said he was happy doing his own artwork, mostly watercolors because it was “quick and easy.” But it wasn’t long until other residents pulled Ed into the art culture that is found here.
