Art Collectibles - Connecting the Beloved Folk Art and Americana Auctions

American folk art is so serious fun that even the most discerning Americana enthusiasts can't resist an afternoon walk on the wild-side. Part of the fun stems from the gallery of hand-made, authentic artworks created by real artists with minimal or no formal art training. The same can be said for antique tables, chairs and benches made from authentic Adirondack chairs or wood planks, with matching rustic lamp shades and knickknacks on the rustic tables. All of which, in one glance, could suggest a trip down memory lane, right? But then again, it might mean a trip back to reality: this is just a small taste of what's available on the market today!
One of the newest trends in Americana decor is a revival of old-fashioned Americana furniture and decor, replete with elements from Native American, European furniture styles, Native American prints, and wood carvings. What is so interesting about this trend? The artists don't have a formal art education, yet these works are highly prized by buyers who appreciate true Americana and by designers who appreciate the design possibilities inherent in the use of natural materials. Many of these artists sell their work as life-size and portrait paintings, creating a unique kind of selling as well as fine art. Some are selling pieces as large as a foot or larger, and many pieces are offered in limited edition, "prints" that offer a limited number of pieces, hand numbered, signed, or displayed in a limited edition format.
If you want to know more about this exciting new trend in Americana decor, consider looking for a new artist who is getting recognized in the American Folk Art Market. One artist whose work you may want to check out is Autumnglass. Autumn Glass began her career as an artist when she was only 18 years old. She created traditional wooden Indian furniture from scratch, and then added her personal designs. Since then she has become known as one of the most talented young artists of her generation, offering pieces with both her own art and that of Autumn Glass, as well as pieces from other talented artists.
Another artist worth noting on the subject of Americana furnishings and decor, in the field of Americana furniture and art, is Autumnwood. Autumnwood's designs are inspired by the southwest Indian, Native American, and Santa Fe style of decor. Autumnwood's paintings are also based on the natural environment of southwestern North America. This artist's paintings are currently on display through the Santa Fe College Art Gallery.
One other artist worth noting on the subject of Americana furnishings and decor, who is worth speaking with when it comes to these kinds of items, is Michael Furillo. Michael Furillo has won awards from the Southwestern Association of Artists and Designers, the Society of American Originals, and the National Academy of Professional Artists. He currently has two solo exhibitions, featuring artworks he made while working as a designer for several different companies. If you are looking for a connection to a Connecticut collector of American folk art and other items, you will likely find this artist to be a good fit.
These three artists offer many more options for folk art auction collections, as well as connecting you to other talented artists. If you want to start your collection of Americana furnishings and decor, or find a connection to a talented artist, these artists are worth checking out. No matter what style or period you are looking for, you will be able to find it among these talented artists.
