Nostalgic Folk Art was born in 2004. I came up with Nostalgic Folk Art name for my paper mache figures because I love the older things that remind me of my childhood and of innocent times. They are figures of folks both childish and impish and I love vintage folk art so putting nostalgic with folk art was/is a perfect and fitting name for my lil figures and business. I feel so blessed and thankful to God for being able to make these little pieces and hope they make you smile.


Thank you for taking the time to visit!







And when your done visiting here, I'd love for you to check out my work on my etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/NostalgicFolkArt

 overwhelming which way to go first!






 our only purchase this fireman cookie jar
 look at this traffic!
in the parking lot, i hope they find their dog
 Jean and Dan setting up Main Street Gallery area



 Across from us was Evo Love who makes these wild pieces
 the most unusual piece of art at the show in my opinion

 Evo and Romain eating some delicious chili,
 painted boots by Eric G. she is darling and her boots are so wonderful!
 this mirror is stunning! Stephanie Howard drawings are the best



 this work is so amazing, i couldnt pick just one thing as my favorite, SD Meadows Folk Art


 my one purchase was a painting by Sandy Erickson Wright, it was a bunny with a chick, i have a cow and a lamb by her and she does it the best!

Kathleen Taylor Studio, so whimsical and lovely


 Lurena from Tattered Moon, she really knows how to set her area up to show her whimsies

My First Written Review/Kinda like your first dollar, I treasure this dearly

"Carol Roll is a relative new-comer, creating folk art for four years, now. Her paper mache figures reflect significant talent. At first glance, her angels, people, mermaids, and animals may appear cute and dear. At closer look, they are sophisticated, with detailed, expressive faces, each unique. Roll's work is anything but mass produced. It's the real deal. "
