The Artist

Resident artist Barre Pinske is a Minnesota native who found his way to New England 20+ years ago. His love of nature and his sense of adventure drew him to Vermont where he resides today. Barre’s brilliant personality and fabulous artistic style match perfectly. His fun, colorful, unique and whimsical flair is shown in all the furniture, artwork and his laid back energy resounds throughout the Amee Farm. As a young boy he was a “woodcarving prodigy”, his art has been appreciated by patrons like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Prince, Barry Manilow and Bill Koch and even the Russian government. Barre’s accomplishment’s include being chosen by the United States to create a gift of an Eagle and Bear wood carving to Russia, which symbolized the joining of two nations during the signing of the nuclear disarmament treaties.

*Note: He also invented the hydraulic chain saw, which is a non-gas powered chain saw, which you can use to work indoors. He’s pretty much amazing. Come see for yourself.
