This book introduces the reader to 32 self-taught artists in the
Southeastern United States. Some have already come to the attention
of collectors and scholars. Many others have been unrecognized
outside of their immediate neighborhoods. What they all have in
common is an unquenchable desire to make art. Often defying the
expectations of family and friends, they have pursued this
inspiration. In many cases, these artists began to create in
response to a personal crisis. Others harbored an interest in art
for many years but only had the time to create following
retirement. Most were initially unaware of the academic art world,
either because they were unable to afford an art education or
because their families considered such an aspiration impractical.
These stories of perseverance, struggle and triumph illustrate the
strength of the creative impulse, which is a part of us all.
