Self-taught, outsider, primitive, naïve, Folk artists have defied definition and broken down barriers for a century. Through their use of unconventional materials and subjects, folk art has risen in acclaim with audiences and collectors as a respected art form.

Fishstick, Coralie Hardman, Joycelyn Hariston, Mike Jones, Eric Legge, Peter Loose, Bob McGill, Durwood Pepper, Kip Ramey, Jason Smith, Robin “Bird” Smith, Suzie Smith, “The Cap Man”, C. Larry Wilson, A.J. Wolff, Mary Hull, Fox Gradin, Mary Hardman, Kurt Hewell, Wayne Hewell, Don Wheatley.
Colorful, playful, from whimsical to macabre, humorous or edgy, many artists display biting wit with socially conscious compositions, or comical revelations, reflecting the vast and diverse culture of the artists and their perspectives.
