BOOK EXCERPT:
Folk art is as varied as it is indicative of person and place, informed by innovation and grounded in cultural context. The variety and versatility of 300 American folk artists is captured in this collection of informative and thoroughly engaging essays. American Folk Art: A Regional Reference offers a collection of fascinating essays on the life and work of 300 individual artists. Some of the men and women profiled in these two volumes are well known, while others are important practitioners who have yet to receive the notice they merit. Because many of the artists in both categories have a clear identity with their land and culture, the work is organized by geographical region and includes an essay on each region to help make connections visible. There is also an introductory essay on U.S. folk art as a whole. Those writing about folk art to date tend to view each artist as either traditional or innovative. One of the major contributions of this work is that it demonstrates that folk artists more often exhibit both traits; they are grounded in their cultural context and creative in the way they make work their own. Such insights expand the study of folk art even as they readjust readers' understanding of who folk artists are.

BOOK EXCERPT:
I do believe a lot of what I draw comes from within. The images of the Indian Princesses and there, horses, have always been a part of my life. From a small child I understand those feeling all so well. I lived with the love of many horses in my life time. They are still here in my heart and soul. So it comes very easy to me in and image. The love between a girl and her horse. I hope that comes across in what the one looking at the Image, see's and feels. Animals, Birds, Symbols, they all just seem to me to belong together. I hope the Love I have for the Native American Indian, comes out in my art. Enjoy.

Presenting concise overviews of artists and movements that are uniquely American, these volumes distill the essence of their subjects with authoritative texts and lavish illustrations. Since the time of the earliest settlers, Americans have been expressing their individuality through the embellishment of everyday objects. Such classics as whirligigs, ship models, and carousel animals fill these pages.
