an exhibit honoring the life and work of Tim Lewis,  nationally acclaimed self-taught stone carver from Kentucky

In October 2007, Tim Lewis received the Artist of the Year Award from the Folk Art Society of America.  He is currently the subject of a solo traveling exhibition.

Customs House Museum (Clarksville, TN) Jul 10 to Oct 31, 2008

Columbus Museum of Art (Columbus, OH) Nov 14, 2008 to Feb 22, 2009

The show features sixty pieces of Lewis’s work gathered from twenty-two public and private collections from across the Southeast and Midwest by guest curators Bruce and Kathy Moses Shelton. Works exemplify the full range of Lewis’s ability to tell a story from his first Noah’s Ark to his most recent – Win, Place & Show, an homage to the Kentucky Derby. Mining the experience of family and home, as well as a trove of legends and beliefs accumulated over a lifetime, Lewis has created a body of work that emerges as a visual narrative rich in its ‘telling.’           excerpt from Customs House Museum exhibit info
