 A Southern Folk Artist: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. I have shown at the Atlanta Folk Fest and at Kentuck with International artist like Lisa Cain, Woddy Long, Jimmy Lee Suddeth. On Sept 23,after the death of my beloved Mother who died in my arms, I said good by to a 30 year art career as a folk artist on the art circuit to sell and paint as a Independent folk artist , So come and travel the road back to my childhood 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.email me with orders and questions. be sure to see purple cucumbers who is creating altered art hats and play sets in a tin.Check out my new blog at http://jessielavon.blogspot.com/ |
