Description

Built in 1828, this building was one of several tenants houses the Taylor family constructed to attract artisans to Taylorsville. It served as the home and workshop of a shoemaker, then a cooper, a wheelwright, and finally a carpenter, Abdon Hibbs. A typical two-room over two-room stone structure, it housed a worker, his family, and his apprentice, as well as his shop. The Taylorsville area of Washington Crossing Historic Park, located at the intersection of Routes 32 and 532, is the heart of the park and the site of many modern-day programs, including the reenactment of George Washington's river crossing.

Artist Statement

Art has always been an important part of my life. The process of making Art from the days of working with my grandmother to create arts and crafts at the young age of five to my current pursuit fifty-five years later working as a professional painter. I approach my artwork with personal and professional artistic challenges. Over the years I have worked in my studio with some very prestigious highly professional artists. These artists have inspired most of what I do today. My studies in college have taught me that only working hard and doing what you love to do leads to success. I enjoy all types of art and I don't have one artist that I place at the top of my list. I create my art to satisfy my need to create. I feel compelled to give a part of me to anyone who understands and is willing to embrace the art. Each piece I create becomes part of my art family. It conveys where I am and what I was doing at the time of its creation. My mission as an artist is to share what I have learned over the years through my art.
