About living in the northern Berkshires, Amy Podmore and Frank Jackson note: “We feel really lucky to live and work in a place that has rural beautiful surroundings, a rich and vibrant arts community and multiple quality museums and cultural s at our fingertips. We are lucky, too, to have such smart, talented, and funny colleagues and friends in our lives!”
Since moving to Williamstown over 25 years ago, artists Amy and Frank have continued to develop their studio and teaching practices. They have also raised two children.
