By Their Own Hands

The works selected for this show represent some of the best examples of contemporary folk art today. Many of these pieces traveled from our gallery to appear in the show Sacred Folk on display at Gallery221@HCC in Tampa, from May 14 – June 21, 2012.

"By Their Own Hands" includes works from matriarchs like Ruby C. Williams, Missionary Mary Proctor, and Alyne Harris alongside the works of younger artists like Theresa Disney, Butch Anthony, and Michael Banks. While they all have extremely different styles and approaches, the common thread of these self-taught artists is the authenticity of their expression.
