Join us for a special presentation honoring the life and work of Kentucky folk artist, writer, farmer, and stone mason Herbert Lee Clark (1934–2017).
Lou DeLuca, longtime friend and editor of Clark’s writings, will share a 30–40 minute PowerPoint presentation exploring:
Clark’s book Old Time Kentucky Farmsteading, Ways and Means (Acclaim Press)
His wit and wisdom, gathered from the traditions of his elders
Examples of his remarkable stone masonry and folk architecture
Stories from their decades-long friendship in Harrisonville, KY
Illustrations in Clark’s book are by Joanne K. Guilfoil, artist and former UK/EKU professor, adding another layer of artistry to his legacy.
This event is both a tribute and a glimpse into Kentucky’s farming and folk traditions through the eyes of someone who lived them fully.
