Bohemian Folk Barn Quilts is the husband/wife team of folk artists and educators, Jennifer and Drew Wilkerson. Their home studio is based in Brookfield, MO where they live with their youngest daughter. In over twenty-two years together they have traveled all over the United States on many wonderful adventures, where they discovered barn quilts. Their fascination grew and they started painting barn quilts for their own home. Sharing with others is now their passion, as they bring people together to learn where this modern Folk Art initiative began while creating their own masterpiece.
