Paint N Paddle Studio is the work of Vermont artist Rob Mullen — wildlife paintings in acrylic and oil, and landscapes painted largely in the field. Before 2020, Rob led over 20 wilderness art expeditions from Labrador to Alaska, resulting in the critically acclaimed book Boreal Wilderland, released by Page Two Books / Macmillan with a foreword by Robert Bateman.
The Arctic Studies Center at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History called it "a truly remarkable book about one of the most important — and little-known — landscapes on planet Earth." Bill McKibben praised it as never having been more powerfully depicted.
Since then Rob has refocused on Vermont — painting the Long Trail end-to-end, spending six weeks aboard a restored wooden yawl on Lake Champlain, and exploring his own backyard in Bolton. Featured in the September 2026 issue of Natural History Magazine.
Come find his work at the Stowe Foliage Arts Festival this October.
