Folk Art in the USA-Slotin Art Festival 2012


 Michael Banks---From Marcia Weber Art Objects, Montgomery, AL

Last night I visited the Slotin outsider folk art festival in Norcross, Ga. For many years I have loved folk artists with their creative free spirits and their whimsical imaginations. They never fail to charm and their unique perception flows into their work and breathes life into it. Here are some photos I took at the show to share with others who are also interested in folk art in USA.
