Lonnie & Twyla Money: 50 Years of Kentucky Appalachian Folk Art
is the story of two iconic Kentucky artists who have not only been making highly regarded folk art pieces for nearly 50 years, but who have helped to shape this unique Appalachian art form.
Lonnie and Twyla Money twine their talents to create work that first makes you smile and then boggles your mind as you take in the fullness and depth of their accomplishment. How fortunate we are to have this book to document their way in the world.
—Robert Gipe, Author and theater producer
The Moneys are genuine and extraordinary folk artists with outstanding craftsmanship of designing, carving, and painting.
—Philip Conn, President, Conn Fine Art & Design
It is fitting that these two farmers-turned-folk artists are celebrated with a book that documents their nearly 50 years of creativity.
—Linda Stahl, Former journalist, The Courier-Journal
