Clementine Hunter is one of the foremost American folk artists. She was born on a Louisiana plantation, working in the cotton fields and pecan groves until at the age of 54 she found some discarded tubes of paint which she used to 'mark a picture,' thus beginning her career. She was the first African American artist to have a solo exhibit at the Delgado Museum (now the New Orleans Museum of Art) and achieved a significant amount of success during her lifetime, including an invitation to the White House by President Jimmy Carter, and an honorary doctorate bestowed by Northwestern State University.
