Bertha Harris, Louisiana Folk Art Legend Pursues Art After 60

Bertha Cooper Harris is a senior citizen Louisiana folk artist who recently completed her autobiography. She did not seriously undertake art until after she turned 65. The public reception to her art has been both gratifying and inspirational. However Bertha still has a great deal to offer not just in art but to the lives of all who her story and art touches.

This piece is a perfect addition to a nursery or a gift to a new mother. Nothing like the memories of childhood in the southern outdoors.

This piece is telling such a story between the image of a mother’s love and the beauty of nature, everything about it absolutely majestic.

We adore seeing the images of beauty depicted of child rearing in the South.

Another piece that touches my soul as I was the granddaughter of a hog farmer and I remembered walking over to animals and hiding behind hay and fences.
