loving anvil

We are Gil and Coco – husband and wife team that makes up Hogfarm Studios  in Biddeford since 2005!  We’re both artists (Coco mostly metalsmithing @lovinganvil and Gil mostly painting @gilcorralart) We live and work in our 1880 farmhouse and studio/barn (no livestock, just a history of a few pigs running around back in the day.) Some of you may have attended our music events in the late 00s – early 10s either in our barn or our downtown listening room.  Now we do by-appointment art studio visits.–

we believe everything vibrates with consciousness and sentience as a sum of their parts – an undeniable energy that had either been nurtured or born of pain.  and we work hard to insure our creations are as free from negative energy as we can. This is how:

• our metals are reclaimed/recycled.

• our stones are lovingly (and obsessively) dug, shaped and polished artisan rock hounds from around the globe.

• our studio and home are run with the immediate and global ecosystem in mind.

everything by and with a conscious of and for the Earth, it’s creatures, and people.  it’s essential. the way we live our daily life absolutely translates to our work.

we honored to find our work in many collections domestically and internationally.  we are proud to include among our patrons:
