Folk art is a broad collecting area, and can be defined differently by each collector. Folk art is typically associated with unknown or obscure artists, who created unique pieces by hand for their own use and pleasure, rather than intending them from the start as works of art. Collectible folk art includes paintings, sculptures and carvings, decoys, dolls, quilts, samplers and a variety of other hand made and primitive items.
