Forty-eight floors above “Ground Zero,” a small group of artists set up shop. Each has a personal connection to the September 11^th terror attacks and all of them are painting the rebuilding of the world trade center site as a way to honor those who died on September 11th, 2001.

The artists  paint from an unfurnished loft like space at 7 World Trade Center, a building that overlooks ground zero and is owned by Silverstein Properties, a real estate firm that is developing the world trade center site.

In a series of works he calls “Witness,” Stone has documented the destruction of the site and its redevelopment.

Todd sells his work independently. His website is: www.toddstone.com. His paintings will be on exhibit in Reclaiming Vistas: Post 9/11 Urban Perspectives at the Puffin Foundation, Teaneck, NJ with an opening on Friday Sept. 24 at 8pm. The exhibit will run through November 19. For directions and other info, call (201)-836-3499 or visit www. PuffinCulturalForum.org.
