Piglets in Brandon: Artists Guild celebrates 25 years

Renowned artist and Brandon resident Warren Kimble made a huge splash in the 1990s putting his distinctive twist on 19th-century folk-art styles, creating a whimsical world of white New England houses and wildly proportioned farm animals.  One of those animals turned out to have more significance in his life, and to Brandon as a whole, than he probably anticipated: the pig.

Warren Kimble, at age 87, remembered everywhere as “the contemporary folk artist,” selects a venue dear to his heart to stage what he calls his “last hurrah,” until he retires once again.
