Timothy Hull
“The Hudson Valley is a highly dynamic and creative region. I have both a studio in the city and in the country and I find the different energies feed into what I’m doing,” says Warwick, NY-based artist/ painter Timothy Hull, whose work’s been featured and reviewed in The New York Times, Artforum, Interview and The Los Angeles Times. “Sometimes I really need the drumbeat of the city and other times the solitude and quiet of the country. Growing up in the Hudson Valley has always made it truly home for me and where I feel a true sense of place.”
Ellen Ann Kafkalas & Rita Kogler Carver
Sisters by choice Ellen Ann Kafkalas and Rita Kogler Carver are the founders of the Green Womxn and use their creativity to make canned goods out of perfectly edible parts of plants that normally get tossed out. It’s a second career for both women, so they’ve been able to combine their past skills and spark new creativity to concoct scrumptious relishes and sauces with a positive environmental impact. They say this region is the perfect place for their plant-based venture. “The combination of rural and city areas helps us get our product out to people through festivals and farmers markets, where we offer tastings of our products.”
