Hambone
Born
in 1956, self-taught Louisiana folk artist Hambone started
painting at the age of 46, colorful depictions of life growing
up in the rural American Deep South.
Hambone
uses acrylics to bring life to the scenes of his multicultural
childhood upbringing and paints totally from memory.
His
subjects are derived from his life experiences and observations
as he lived and traveled among many cultures - Black, White,
Cajun, Rural and Country folks and City dwellers. His colorful,
intricate and engaging paintings are full of humor and detail
and inspire the viewer's own childhood memories. His painting
hang in private collections throughout the United States and
Canada.
