BARN GENES: Art in the Barn #2

The third ART IN THE BARN event was hosted by Leah Schroeder and Elise Hofer Derstine at Red Tail Farm last weekend. More artists than even including poets and musicians filled the barn with warm light in the midst of fierce winds. I was pleased to sell two STORY BARN prints, mounted on “found” barn wood. Don’t miss this event next year! Check it out here below and at artinthebarn.wordpress.com






BARN GENES: the innate meeting place of creatures and Creat-ivity

(said in one breath) and dedicated to Elise Hofer Derstine and her poem, “BARN JEANS”


cut the wind

come on in

beer wine

light line

marker, wire

art wrap attire

paintings, pots,

food prints, collage,

barns on barn wood

even you could…

Megafauna

poems unfolded

wild stories

shared voices

politician poet

did you know it?

barn jeans,

whew wee!

music rocks

orange crocs

novice, sage

any age

Leah greets

sells a piece

sweet release


see you later

next October

stored a year

like hay
