Artist - Woodie Long
Born in Plant City, Florida, on October 19, 1942, Woodie was the son of a migrant farmer who settled in one place for a while to be a sharecropper. Woodie Long was a house painter for 25 years before he began experiencing health problems due to his occupation. Depressed by his doctor's orders to quit house painting in 1987, Long took to expressing his feelings through artwork.
Long's bright happy creations of his memories began being sought out and purchased by people far and wide. Now his works are in many major private and corporate collections throughout the U.S. and abroad and have been shown in New York exhibitions since 1992. Examples of his art are included in the permanent collections of the Cooperstown Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Wiregrass Museum, and the Columbus Museum of Art, to name a few.
His paintings have been published in numerous books, as CD covers, and as accompaniments for magazine articles in major magazines such as The Smithsonian. Woodie Long died on October 12, 2009. Information about Woodie and his artwork is available on Facebook at the Woodie Long Art Gallery.
