outsider folk art paintings
My art is in collections and Museums in the U.S.A,Canada and Europe. It has been written up in INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINES LIKE RAW VISION AND SOUTHERN LADY as well as being shown at the Huntsville Museum along with the art of Grand Ma Moses and Norman Rockwell. In my 30 year career I has compleated over 4000 paintings and has shown at the Atlanta Folk Fest and at Kentuck with International artist like Lisa Cain, Woddy Long,Lonnie Hollie,Charlie Lucus,Jimmy Lee Sudduth,Bernice Sims,Mose T,Corn Bread and many other artist. On Sept 23,after the death of my beloved Mother who died in my arms, I said good by to a 30 year art caree as a folk artist on the art circuit to sell and paint as a Independent folk artist. My last public appearence was in my home town where I began my career 30 years ago. As a Independent artist my art can now only be bought in 2 places, The Alabama Rural Heritage Foundation in Thomaston Al and from me here on . So come and travel the road back to my childhhod days where the late afternoon drifts into long shadows and where I paint the memories of my days gone by.my family canning,making moon shine, the chain gang,working in the fields and here on my you can see the many other pieces of art I create like jewelry from beads and bottle caps, tin fish made from tin cans and the fishing luers that my family made back in the 60’s from bottle caps,angels,ACEO CARDS AND THE CONJURE ARTS I LEARNED FROM MY GRANDMOTHER WHO I ALWAYS CALLED NANNY, This orginal black folk art painting will make a great gift for weddings,christmas or any occasion. I also enjoy the junkin’ auctions, and creating different paintings like mini art,contemporary art,portraits of ladys,tin can fish,angles ,spirit dolls,rag dolls and holiday art. I hope to have my recipe book out in late 2006
