This collection of the work of versatile Louisiana folk artist Lorraine Gendron features a comprehensive sampling of her varied multimedia art. Gendron, a self-styled cultural preservationist, works in many media: Mississippi River mud sculptures, painted wood cutouts, acrylic on wood, and primitive dolls. The book also includes photographs of Gendron's home which she also freely has used as her canvas. It also includes an interview with the artist and photographs of her, her family, fans, and friends through the years. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
