Helen DuPre Moseley
 
My trip to the Greenvill museum had to be my first viewing of Mosley's work anywhere.  Great characters and an obviosuly huge imagination.  Not sure where she fits into the art world but is considered self taught.
3 of her rawings have sold for $150-450 in a past auction.

Just opened is the exhibition Winfred Rembert: Amazing Grace. Rembert carves and paints leather to tell the stories of his childhood as an African-American in Cuthbert, Georgia. He will be with us for a gallery talk on July 15 at 2:00 pm.

Winfred just moved up my list of favortie artists after walking through the exhibit in Greenville.  Amazing works on leather.
