Songs of the Ocotillo EXHIBITION at MIXHAUS GALLERY in Comfort, TX

OPENING RECEPTION Saturday APRIL 11, 2026 (2 - 6:00 PM)

Texans Lucy Griffith and Darlene Marwitz collaborate in SONGS OF THE OCOTILLO, mixing poetic and visual art that pays homage to the iconic and beloved plant of the Chihuahuan Desert. Griffith’s words conjure the spirit and resilience of the waving ocotillos that spring to life with a few drops of rain. Marwitz’s landscapes reflect the solitude, open spaces, and hardy flora on the scrabble of the desert floor in Far West Texas.

Purchase the Songs of the Ocotillo poetry book and the poetry broadside poster online at www.mixhausgallery.com.
