Minnie Adkins Hailing from eastern Kentucky, Minnie is the matriarch of Kentucky woodcarvers. She started carving her whimsical animals and Biblical scenes as a young woman and initially met with little success. In fact, her neighbors would make fun of her critters and tell her she needed to go to art school. Minnie persisted, and now enjoys renown as a carver throughout a region rich in the woodcarving tradition. She has organized folk art shows in Morehead City to help other aspiring artists become better known and the folk art museum in Morehead City adopted one of her designs as its logo. Minnie Adkins is having the last chuckle now as many of her neighbors, witnessing her success, have started whittling themselves. |
