“I am thrilled to debut my new Grafton Forge Alien series in my new home of Grafton, Vermont alongside the works of Frances and Peter,” said Cushing “To show along complimentary artists all of whom now call Grafton home is exciting for all of us. The goal of our show is to put Grafton on the map as a true art destination.”
