This is where you will find articles about folk art and artists. We have written some, and some are reissues by permission of different publications. In addition, there are listings of publishers, and periodicals. We also have a separate page of links to other folk art or antiques related sites.

We are always adding articles and links to other sites. There will be lots more coming in the future. If you have any suggestions, or topics you'd like to see, let us know.

Videos:

This series will give a little taste of what we saw at our visit to this wonderful folk art environment in Southern Louisiana. These life size and larger figures were made by brick layer Kenny Hill between 1990 and 2000 as the result of spiritual visions. We hope you will enjoy them.

Each of the videos on individual pages with a large player (which you can make full screen), several still photos of the Sculpture Garden, and links to other pages with more information on Kenny Hill and the garden.
