Floria Yancey

Floria Yancey, by Fay Bridges Hyatt

Floria is a completely self-taught southern folk art artist. Her paintings provide her with a way to express her dreams and visions and her pieces are always delightful and thought provoking. The artist paints on 'found' materials.

Floria's family share cropped, picked cotton, cut pulp wood for saw mills, raised sugar cane, corn and grew all their own vegetables. She feels that her art is an extension of her childhood memories.
