Member Artists
Are you an artist and a City Market Member? We'd love to feature your art on one of our Member Artist Walls! We feature art from a Member Artist for two month periods at both our Downtown store on the wall near Register 10 and in our South End store on the walls on either side of our cafe. If you are interested in displaying your art, please fill out and return our Member Artist Application and submit to Membership@citymarket.coop.
My art is derived from pieces of the natural world, and from figments of my own imagination. I allow these flow into our physical world though pencil, ink, prints, carvings, and things that I find in our Northern Forests. I have been mentored by family members, teachers, friends and the wilderness in the art of creativity and curiosity since I can remember and I thank them all for the ability that they have helped me develop. My inspirations are my grandad, my high school art teachers, James Guarino, and Zoë Myers. I hope you enjoy.
This installation features artwork made at UVM Medical Center by patients, families, caregivers and volunteers. Art from the Heart is a volunteer program of Burlington City Arts and UVM Medical Center designed to help patients, families, caregivers and staff transform their care and feel better through art. Volunteers visit the hospital every day of the year to nurture exploration, imagination and expression through the arts. This program is run through Burlington City Arts and coordinated by Rebecca Schwarz.
I am a self-taught artist and started when I was young. I was brought up in Jeffersonville VT, went to 1yr at Johnson State College, and then enlisted in the Army. I worked in Recruiting Support where I learned how to silkscreen, mount and retouch photos. They sent me to Kodak to learn to retouch negatives. I earned a BA in Psychology at Johnson when I returned to VT. My artwork has ranged from drawing and painting different subject matter, carving wood then painting it, painting mushrooms, and making three dimensional art. Creating images from leaves/flowers and painting photos are my latest art endeavors.

October is Co-op Month and City Market is using the Member Art Wall to celebrate this year’s Co-op Month theme in a big way – Co-operatives Build! Since we’re growing in the South End, we gave you a chance at our 14th Annual Food Fest and online to share what you’re most excited about with our new South End store. Our co-op is building and growing in a big way – thanks for sharing in the excitement!
Petr Pavel Kepka is an award winning videographer and music teacher from the Czech Republic. One of his passions throughout his life has been his love for the capital city of Czech Republic, Prague. Petr has been filming the architecture of Prague for 17 years and last 10 years he has specialized in night photography using HDR technology. "I consider night photography a very challenging art to master. The final product can be done in many ways. One picture takes about 3 hours if you have a lucky day, or you can struggle with it for a week," Petr said. "I hope that this exhibition will bring my vision of Prague, my never ending inspiration and love, to Burlington and City Market customers."
Emily Treasure Greene has been painting for almost a decade and is constantly working to expand her horizons. Born and raised in Ohio, she studied earth science and the environment in college, spent time at a portrait studio, and currently works in childcare. She loves to paint landscapes, abstracts, and experiments with color. Inspiration can come from anything that catches her attention; lately that has been utilizing the waste that art leaves behind. She hopes to continue to create art that affects people in a positive and lasting way.
A lifelong passion for reading history and literature, a love and appreciation for 18th century style, haute couture of the 20th century, of flora and fauna, travel and my birthplace of Manhattan informs my artwork. Art, to me, is like breathing - it is essential to the mind and heart and informs life. My art has been infused and tempered by many places and events and especially by cherished people and pets. It has been inspired and nurtured from infancy by exposure to some of the world's preeminent museums. Life inspires art and art infuses us with life.
