The South as a Home as an Animal

Marshall Blevins

Artist’s statement: Southern artist and photographer, making it up as I go along. Struggled through art school but survived, not sure which direction to go in, but certain and rooted in bayou country. The paintings I make deal with personal mythology, religion, and the importance of place. I draw on my own memories growing up in the land of the pines, the memories of authors like Faulkner and Hurston, and the vivid works of numerous folk artists.

      Hi Hugh, I don’t know if that particular piece is available, but Marshall has an Etsy shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/churchgoinmule?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=653402243
      You could contact him via Etsy, I’m sure he’d be glad to hear from you.
