The thing i love aboutFolk Art is how it brightens up things. It definitely makes the world a less boring place. The designs are so original and very eye catching. Every time i go to folk exhibits or museums it's hard for me to leave. I really appreciate the work of Alexander Girard. He's one of the best folk artists ever!
