My art story...

1995 - Lewis-Grote Illustrations created

2018 - Lewis-Grote Illustrations name changes to Barn Baby Art

Inspired by repurposing a wooden floor in a horse trailer, Barn Baby has continued to grow by painting on reclaimed barn wood and also by venturing out to painting oils directly on wooden furniture. After curing the sealed furniture literally becomes functional artwork.
