Living Legend Minnie Adkins Kentucky Folk Artist Wood Carving Signed. Minnie Adkins is a Kentucky folk artist known for her painted wood carvings of animals? Roosters, red foxes, bears, possums, and horses. She was born, 1934, in Isonville, a small town in rural Eastern Kentucky. While a young child, she was attracted to whittling wooden sticks. Her father gave her a pocketknife and she soon took up a hobby practiced mostly by boys and men. In 1968, Adkins, her husband Garland, and their son moved, like many families in Appalachia, to Ohio in search of jobs. In 1985, several of her works were included in the collection of the Kentucky Folk Art Center, [1] and is now in many permanent private and public collections. [2] Atkins is featured in a short documentary film[3] and many publications[4] [5].
