When Bill Traylor Started to Draw

By Don Tate Pictures by R. Gregory Christie
Discover the inspiring true story of an artist who proved it is never too late to share your unique vision with the world. Bill Traylor spent his youth as an enslaved boy on a hot Alabama farm, and later worked the same land as a sharecropper. By the time he was eighty five years old, he was living alone in the busy capital city of Montgomery. Though he was poor and lonely, his mind was filled with vibrant memories of rural farm life and the bustling city streets. Using whatever materials he could find, Bill began to draw. Soon, those memories poured onto the paper in energetic, warm, and often funny pictures. You will be captivated by this lively tribute to a self taught folk artist who found his creative voice late in life and left behind a beautiful legacy.
