Art by
Joel Clayton Lewis
Original Appalachian-Inspired Artwork from Southern Kentucky


A native to Leslie County, Kentucky, Joel Clayton Lewis finds inspiration in the people, places, and traditions of Appalachia. While he works professionally as an electrician in the coal industry, his passion for art serves as a creative escape. Using primarily pencil and paper, Lewis skillfully recreates scenes of Appalachian life, from weathered homes and classic automobiles to natural landscapes and still-life compositions.
