Mattie Lou O'Kelley

Mattie Lou O'Kelley (1908 - 1997) was active/lived in Georgia.  Mattie OKelley is known for Pointillist folk art image painting, landscape, farmlife, animals, figures and portraits.

Born to a Banks County, Georgia farm family, she was the epitome of a folk artist--naive, reclusive and tied to a rural background. She grew up in a large farm family and her paintings, primarily landscapes and an occasional portrait, reflect this background.

She was age 50 before she began to paint and worked on canvas in a tight style suggestive of pointillism with tapestry-like surface. Her themes are harvest, birth and death, local festivities--simple pleasures of rural life. She never married and lived alone after her mother died. Her work became highly sought after.   ...  [Displaying 586 of 5502 characters.]  Artist bio
