MIDDLEBURY ARTIST ROBERT Gold has been a painter for 50 years, but his work changed significantly after suffering a traumatic brain injury in 1996. Gold’s work is on display at the Ilsley Library through Jan. 29.

MIDDLEBURY — In 1996, Robert Gold was blind sided by oncoming pickup truck as he sat at an intersection in Manchester, N.H. The accident left him with traumatic brain injuries that ended his lucrative dental practice and drove friends and family away.
But the accident gave Gold, now a Middlebury resident, a second life as a self-taught artist. Although he can no longer wield the tools of his former trade, Gold has turned to a vocation where he combines photography and painting to create works of beauty in a unique style.
