The Singhampton Sculpture Forest will open on the May long weekend so visitors can help celebrate the survival of nature’s beauty. Artists Marion Bartlett (above) and Rick Bino, of Studio 124, are trying to colour their world “happy” after suffering destruction and loss of trees from the ice storm. Bino spent weeks in a wheelchair due to falling off a ladder after the ice storm. Since then, the forest has risen in hues of green and scattered flowers of purple, yellow, white and pink. Trilliums are proliferating throughout the woods and the scars left by broken branches and tumbled trees are hidden by the life of nature’s evocative gentle brushes… and one of their own. Old barren tree posts have been transformed into coloured pencils that suggest new designs and sketches will transform the patches of soil into new expressions. Singhampton Sculpture Forest is open most weekends and weekdays by appointment. Tours are self-guided. Admission is free. The Singhampton Sculpture Forest is located at 124 Lakeview Rd., Singhampton. The studio and gallery is open by chance or appointment. For more information, visit marionbartlettsculpture.com.
