Featured Artist: Barbara Hengstenberg

This month, we welcome Barbara Hengstenberg to our rotating artist series. Barbara is an artist and writer who creates in a variety of media. Her Zen folk art uses color and patterns to tell stories visually. Barbara’s painted collages combine antique sheet music, photos and letters with acrylic painting to pull viewers into her canvases. Barbara currently serves on the board of the N.C. Arts Incubator. She is the writer-in-residence at Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge and serves on their advisory committee for education. In 2015, Barbara founded WildesArt, a gathering place for musicians, visual artists, writers, poets, foodies, and yogis. She holds an M.A. in Education and taught for over 13 years in Connecticut Public Schools. Check out Barbara’s exhibition from June to August. Learn more about her art here.
