Last week, director Christelle Bois, currently of New York, descended on Alpine to film portions of her Amazon Prime series “The Story of Art in America.” Bois focused her efforts on local artists Pauline Hernandez, a ceramicist and muralist, Michael Stevens, a guitar builder, Dot Mainz, a local quilter, and printmaker Ramon Deanda. Bois’ focus for this series explores the vitality and diversity of art in America in small and medium- sized cities residing outside of the “art world” prominent in the large cities.
