Welcome!
October update! It is about time, I have finally updated the website with new work by Bradford Naugler, Ransford Naugler, Ian Fancey, Kevin Coates and Peter Rafuse. I also have a wonderful pig by Leonard Croteau of Quebec and an eagle by Walter Cross which will be online soon. So sorry to hear that Carolyn Fancy passed away this summer. Condolences to her husband, Brian. It is a good time to update your folk art collection just like your fall wardrobe! Regards!
Please see FTHFA featured in:

The Town Crier
Look for a wonderful article about Nova Scotia Folk Art In the December Issue of American Style Magazine.
From the Heart Folk Art began on a road trip home from Nova Scotia in 2003. I am from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia but live in Toronto, Ontario. I have been collecting Folk Art, hand-carved and painted wooden sculptures, for a few years and after my family's first visit to the Nova Scotia Folk Art Festival decided to share my passion with others. The quirky, whimsical characters always bring a smile to your face and are pieces of art to be shared with your family and handed down for generations. These self-taught artists are very friendly Maritimers, each with his/her own personal style of carving and painting.
This site was created to give you an example of what is available in the gallery. Please call for more information and/or to make an appointment. All prices shown are in Canadian Funds. .
