On her return as a Two Coats of Paint Resident Artist, we invited Sage Tucker-Ketcham to contribute an “Ideas & Influences” column. With roots reaching back fourteen generations in Vermont, Sage transforms daily walks into botanical compositions based on her memories of observed wildflowers and native vegetation. She is particularly interested in overlooked plants that she finds in unexpected places. Sage will be in residence from Sunday, January 4 through Friday, January 9, 2026. Please join us for an Open Studio on Wednesday, January 7, from 5–7 PM.
