My name is Gabriel Roberts and I live in Craftsbury, Vermont.  I’m rapidly approaching 40 years old and have recently become a dad and started to find grey hairs on my head.  I still believe that my best soccer is ahead of me, but, like Tiger Woods, each season that passes without a major championship casts doubt on that assertion.

I work as a carpenter with my brother, and then work to build a good home life with my wife in our 1860’s house in town.  We are blessed with good health, abundant food, and a shared appreciation of beauty and quiet and order.

I was born in Buffalo, New York and grew up in Sacramento, California.  I have a formal art education from the University of California Davis and the Chautauqua School of Art.  Despite painting and drawing rarely, I still believe my best art is ahead of me, and hope to live long and be able to pose for awesome studio photos like Monet.

Much of what I’ve been taught is gradually being ejected from my mind as total nonsense, and replaced by an increasing awareness of how little I know to be true.  I’d like to slowly build up my knowing from personal experience and careful study, but at the end of the day sometimes I just feel like watching sports on TV.  Despite numerous reasons to be pessimistic, I am optimistic about the future.  Let’s stick together and help each other out and take care of our kids!
