Suky Werman is blessed with a great eye and generous heart, which is why hundreds of people descended on the Barn Gallery at Stonover Farm for the opening of FARM: Painting, Photography & Sculpture, which Werman had been planning since winter. It features the work of many local artists, including Jason Houston and Kit Latham. Werman was especially excited to unveil the astonishing Lego replica of the Stonover barn, which she'd commissioned from artist Jesse A. Metzger.
