Dougherty has sculpted “The Rambles” on the grounds of the Florence Griswold Museum (FGM).

Dougherty creates using natural objects from the environment around him. In Connecticut, he used young tree saplings and twigs.

The public can explore the sculpture located on the FGM grounds at 96 Lyme St., Old Lyme.

The Florence Griswold Museum is a beautiful historic house surrounded by gardens. It is the original landscape where a colony of American Impressionism artists found inspiration, worked and lived. Features include a remarkable collection of painted panels and doors left in situ (in their original place) by the artists who stayed at the Florence Griswold House, the boardinghouse of the Lyme Art Colony.

“During the first two decades of the 20th century, the village of Old Lyme, Connecticut, was the setting for one of the largest and most significant art colonies in America. Centered in the boardinghouse of Miss Florence Griswold, the colony attracted many leading artists, including Henry Ward Ranger, Childe Hassam, and Willard Metcalf, who were in the vanguard of the Tonalist and Impressionist movements,” according the history online of FGM.
