Michael Rothschild has lived in Maine his whole life, farming, cider-pressing, and writing. He\u2019s also been creating art for more than 40 years, from sculptures to sketches, and he\u2019s finally ready to show them to the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

His first exhibition in his home state, \u201cGraven Images: Stone, Wood, Copper, Steel, Bone,\u201d will be on display until Oct. 12 at the Monson Arts Gallery. The pieces, which range from copper etchings and stone sculptures to early concept sketches, don\u2019t just display a local talent, but are a full-circle moment showing art in its place of origin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Bangor, Rothschild now lives on and tends to a 200-year-old farm on Tory Hill in western Maine. He doesn\u2019t silo himself to any one field. Sometimes he\u2019s a farmer tending to cows, chickens, ducks, and hogs. Other times, he\u2019s an orchardist reviving a once-believed-to-be-extinct variety of apple. And in between, he\u2019s an artist drawing from the nature around him. But for Rothschild, all these branches coexist under the same farm.<\/span><\/p>\n
