- Biography
- Corey Barksdale was born in Nashville, Tennessee into a family of Artists. He was exposed to color and form at an early age by his grandmother a quilt artist, and his mother who was gifted with an intuitive feeling for design and a fastidiousness for detail which she expressed in all aspects of her daily life. This rich beginning is the root of Barksdale's creative expression.
Barksdale earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at the prestigious Atlanta College of Art in 1994. During this period he was heavily influenced by the abstract expressionists and admired such mainstream artists as Jasper Johns, Clifford Still, William deKooning. The African-American masters Aaron Douglas, John Biggers, Romere Bearden, and William Tolliver instilled in him a appreciation of African/American artistic heritage.
A prolific artist, his fine art subject matter ranges from human figures to non-objective abstracts. In recent years he has concentrated his talents on themes that portray the love and strength that exists within the African American community. His paintings grace the covers of books, magazines, CD covers, and posters. Among his convictions, is to give back to his community through art education.

Disappearing of Georgia's Treasures: Folk Artists by Steve Slotin
http://www.slotinfolkart.com/folk_art/article1.html
I once heard about a factory worker who retired after 30 years of service. On his first day of his retirement, he started a garden in his backyard. With the first strike of the hoe to the soil, he hit a rock. As he went to remove the rock from the garden, he noticed that it was shiny. Brushing away the dirt, he had just discovered the single largest nugget of gold in North Georgia’s history. He was an instant millionaire. And of course, the mo… Continue
