Concrete Sculptor and Personal Environment Builder
(1908-2003)
Over the past 40 years, Veronica Terrillion has created a remarkable thing, a total environment of sculpture on her three acre homestead in Lewis County. When she bought the land in 1952, her first project was to construct a log house. Next she dredged a pond and eventually added two islands. Most notable to travelers of Route 812, she began filling her yard with large concrete sculptures which she creates herself. She made her first sculpture in 1954, a statue of the Virgin Mary, and placed it by the roadside. Since then she has added numerous animals (like a zebra and Adirondack whitetail deer), religious images (a nativity scene and St. Francis of Assisi), and representations of her family members. In all, there are over 400 figures. During the last few winters, she has done oil paintings based on memories of her childhood and family. Veronica attributes her accomplishments as an artist to her faith and ‟her God-given abilities.” Click here to listen to the NCPR/TAUNY "Meet the Masters" program about Veronica.
