Welcome to Blackberry Mountain Studio, a name taken right from the artist's back yard. On the hill behind the house off Milford's own Rowe Road, the blackberries grow freely, as they did in her first Upper Peninsula Studio. They provide the perfect backdrop for artists of all ages as they learn how to express themselves in the studio.

A natural artist with much developed talent, Barbara Cicchelli is eager to work with students who are ready to learn. Barbara uses the creative process to enhance the quality of life through creating and exhibiting her paintings, seminars, workshops, and teaching. Here, she is shown in her Lawrence St. Gallery Portraits show, in a collaborative effort with a visual artist (herself), poets Martin Dahlgren and Michele Roger, and musicians Marianne Murphy, Bonnie Twiss and Tim Twiss.

Blackberry Mountain Studio is committed to producing art, teaching art and sharing it with others.

Feel free to browse the site and find paintings for sale, more information on the exciting BRIDGE (Broad Roots Interactive Delivery Guaranteed Enjoyment) project, and find out more about the artist's philosophy. We hope to see you in the studio sometime soon!
