Seventeen years ago, they moved to Vermont, and it is here that they have managed to attain a balance of their family, professional, and spiritual lives. Sat Kaur found in ceramics a way to support her family. These days, she is devoting much of her time to her painting as well. Her work, which is available locally in her own gallery and at Partridge Feathers Gallery in West Dover and Vermont Artisan Designs in Brattleboro, is now exhibited in over 60 galleries around the country. The natural beauty of their Marlboro gallery setting is daunting, and it is no wonder that Sat Kaur finds inspiration all around her.
