Description: The sixteen artists spotlighted here live modern lives while, with strong rural roots and values and through hard work and dedication to excellence in their craft, they perpetuate some of the best traditions from earlier days as well as create contemporary whimsy using old techniques.

Iowa Folk Artists is about the folk art you see displayed in homes, churches, and throughout communities and for sale at boutiques and art fairs across the state. But it also presents what you cannot see - a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the artists' personal lives in the words of the artists themselves.
