Overview
Folk art reflects the cultural life of a community. Definitions vary, but generally the objects are created by self-taught artists who tend to depict subjects from their daily life or cultural surroundings. The works are often crafted from found materials and are created in a style very unique to each artist. These artistic traditions are shaped by values and standards that are passed from generation to generation, most often within family and community, through demonstration, conversation, and practice. At Miller & Miller, we specialize in selling important folk art to ensure the preservation of these irreplaceable items.
