THE TRADITION OF FOLK ART VIDEO
Folk art, a form of creative expression that is distinctively Nova Scotian, often takes its inspiration from the sea. A well-known Canadian, most recognized for his folk art is Reed Timmons. He built a shop by his home in Pleasant Bay and took to whittling whales out of pieces of wood when there was a downturn in the fishing industry, and the rest, as they say, is history. The brilliant colors that are used on the puffins, fish, seagulls and other local critters reflect the array of colorful fishing boats that dock in the harbor near his shop.
