Laddy Sartin Outsider Art
Laddy Sartin was born in Brookhaven, Mississippi in 1951. He grew up in the country on the back roads of Lincoln County, and spent much of his childhood at his Granny Reed’s house, his favorite place on earth. It was there that he acquired his interest and fascination with the rural images he now loves to paint.
All of his life, he has been fascinated with the creation of an idea on canvas using brushes and paints, but he figured that he couldn’t draw well enough to be an artist. Then a friend told him that was not the way to look at it: his friend told him that you create art from your soul, with the tools given, and when you finish a piece, if it feels right in your heart, that’s all that matters.
The next day, July 5th, 1997, Laddy found some old wood, cleaned it and started painting. He has been at it ever since.
