  1. These paintings are stunning! I am very interested by folk art made by people in Appalachia. Can you give me any more information on this artist?

  2. Robyn, Edna Simpson sells odds and ends at a place in Berea, Kentucky called the Mini Mall. Once in awhile she brings a piece into the Mini Mall. I would imagine that the mall might be able to tell you more. Thanks for commenting on Folkways! -- barbara
