Artist Keiran Brennan Hinton was dreaming of a retreat where he could work outside, a practice called plein air painting. Eventually he discovered a one-room schoolhouse in Elgin, Ontario—it was perfect. “I had never been in a space that felt so handmade”
By early 2020, artist Keiran Brennan Hinton had been living in New York for the better part of a decade, sharing an apartment in the Bronx with three roommates. He spent much of his time painting at a small studio nearby, a 320-square-foot commercial space on the sixth floor of a brick industrial building.
SET PIECE | The previous owner, a set builder for the Shaw Festival, built an addition on the back of the schoolhouse which now serves as Brennan Hinton's art studio. Before becoming a teacher, Melanie had studied architecture. She created the renovation plans, which included removing the mezzanine stairs that unfurled into the middle of the house and rebuilding them on the side to create a more expansive space. They also moved the bathroom, which required a plumbing overhaul. Brennan Hinton handled the framing and drywalling himself.
