Nova Scotia has a long tradition of producing folk art and today the tradition is as strong as ever. We feature carvings and paintings from Bradford Naugler, Barry Colpitts, Ransford Naugler, Hika Wagner, Mark Robichaud and Murray Gallant, to name a few. These artists express the spirit of our region by making everyday things come to life in new ways. It’s quirky and whimsical and often very funny. It can be uplifting and high spirited or just plain absurd. We have been enjoying folk art in our home for many years and welcome the chance to meet the artists and sell their work. We are absolutely hooked on it! We’ll be leaving some pieces online even as they sell so that you get a chance to see them. We’ll be adding new pieces along the way so please check back in. We can also provide a picture and information about each artist.
Please feel free to email us with any questions or to see what other pieces we may have.
