In episode 20 I sit down (virtually) to chat with Len Smith. Len is a video producer who created a beautiful film in the 90's called Expressions of Common Hands-Folk Art of the Pennsylvania Dutch. It included many favorite and legendary PA Dutch folk artists at that time including Ivan Hoyt, Johnny Claypoole and Eric Claypoole. He recently followed that project up with an updated exploration of hex signs and hex sign painters called, Myths & Legends: Hex Signs of the Pennsylvania Dutch (2018). Len contacted me to be a part of the new project and I was beyond humbled to be included with the other contemporary painters that I have looked up to and appreciated their work for years. Please check out the trailer for the film and support it and Len's incredible efforts to share our amazing folk traditions of the PA Dutch.
