Caleb is also one of Woodford's resident caretakers so he'll have great insight into the history and features of the setting!

Caleb is an oil painter with extensive training in Classical Realism and Russian Impressionism. His educational background is diverse; he is a graduate of Neilson Carlin’s Atelier in Kennett Square, graduated with a B.A. in Art from Covenant College, and apprenticed with artist Daud Akhriev. He has been a full-time painter since 2015, and his current work focuses on plein air paintings of the Pennsylvania landscape. When not making work onsite, he paints from his studio in Fairmount.
