Collection: Folk Art | Handmade & Vernacular Art Objects

The Folk Art collection features handmade objects created outside of formal academic art traditions, often reflecting regional practices, personal expression, and everyday life. These works were typically made by individual artisans using traditional methods and readily available materials, resulting in pieces that are expressive, functional, and deeply personal.

This collection may include hand-painted redware, carved wooden objects, bird carvings and decoys, spoon racks, and other vernacular forms. Folk art is valued not for perfection, but for character—each piece showing evidence of the maker’s hand, intention, and cultural context.

Collected today for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and visual appeal, Folk Art offers a direct connection to creative traditions rooted in place, utility, and individual expression.
