Main Street Gallery
Our folk art collection is a result of many years spent visiting self-taught artists wherever we find them — in isolated, rural communities to inner- city neighborhoods. Meeting these uniquely talented people, has provided us with some enlightening and amazing experiences. What these artists create is art from the heart, without preconceived ideas of what art should be. They work with what is at hand like sheet metal, cast-off lumber, house paint, or cardboard. Often, the need to create is born from religious experiences (hence the term Visionary or sometimes it can be the result of personal trauma. Whatever the catalyst, the end result is art that is refreshingly direct, powerful, and without pretense.
