Sandy and I are excited to share that Homegrown Stories was selected for an artist residency. In May we attended a week long residency in an old farm house situated on the edge of the White Rock Conservancy, located near Coon Rapids, Iowa.

This conservancy is a 5500 acre nonprofit land trust that protects native landscape and promotes sustainable farming. Sandy and I shot footage all over the area, wandering along the Raccoon River, exploring fields of prairie grass, meadows of wild flowers, and bur oak savannas.

During the remainder of 2025, we created videos inspired by the residency. We also collaborated with Pieta Brown on a musical video titled “Riverhouse”.

Thank you Liz Garst for selecting Homegrown Stories for the 2025 Riverhouse Artist Residency!
