Bill carving at Barren River

 

Welcome to my site!

It is dedicated to folk artists throughout Kentucky and the nation.  The line between fine and folk art is sometimes blurry,  In simple terms, fine art is based upon classical (usually European) traditions and created for visual beauty.  It is not utilitarian by nature.  Folk art is based upon folk traditions and usually strives to bring beauty to basically utilitarian items.

Whether you are a fine, folk or blended artist working as a sculpture, carver, whittler, painter, weaver, or even quilter, this site is for you.  I hope to soon have a blog where we can share ideas and links.

I have quite a few irons in the fire right now, so that may take a while.
