Against the Grain
Open online and in the gallery through August 28th, this fabulous show is dedicated to two kindred spirits of our folk art family: Doug Frati & Kent Ambler! Both of these talented men have crafted beautiful lives tucked into the woods, where they draw inspiration from the wildlife and lush forests that surround their homes.
A bounty of beautiful woodblock prints, relief carvings, carved headboards & chests, and abstract woodblock assemblages awaits you on the show page. To make a purchase from Against the Grain, just give us a call at the gallery to make a purchase: 828-281-2134
Our website is full of wonder from a variety of selectively curated contemporary self-taught artists from Texas all the way to Maine: Painters, Whittlers, Carvers & Potters. If you see something you would like to purchase, come on by or reach us by phone 828-281-2134 or email folkart@amerifolk.com
We are open from 11AM – 5PM, Monday-Saturday, and are happy to answer your questions and finalize shipping details, no matter how you prefer to get in touch with us.
American Folk represents over 30 makers with one goal in mind: To expose the world to the creative powers and originality of our artists. Their visions bring life, color, joy and complexity to our gallery and to your home. Self-taught art can range from what is referred to as naive all the way to the exquisitely contemporary. We know these folks and only purchase directly from them. Some have garnered world-wide attention, some are exclusive to American Folk, but all have a unique way of expressing their world & their hearts. We are inspired by them every day…and you can be too!
Phone consultation is available regarding individual pieces that you are interested in. We love to talk about the artworks we present in the gallery! We can ship or hold and offer Curbside Pickup if that feels right. Great care is taken in the wrapping & boxing of the artwork to be shipped, giving you confidence that all aspects of your purchase are handled properly.
We offer Custom Picture Framing for any treasured piece that you would like to proudly preserve and display. All framing is performed right here in our workshop.
Gift Certificates are available in any denomination.
