Bryan Patterson is a Vermont artist and designer living with his wife and six children, all of whom have amazing artistic ability.

Bryan is directly descended from Johannes Lapp, The founder of the Amish community in America. Among his relatives is Henry Lapp of the late 1800's. Henry was an amazing deaf mute carpenter/craftsman and has his work displayed in The Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Bryan says, “I've always had a love of wood and began creating with it before learning of my Lapp ancestors.” Bryan started woodworking professionally in 1977 and has had his work featured in several publications over the years.

Concretions have added the newest developement to Bryan’s work. He and his family harvest these treasures while swimming in the gorgeous rivers of Vermont. The real enjoyment comes from their display of as many wonderful pictures they make in the mind's eye like those you see in the clouds.
