Appalachian artist: Tami Booher | Kentucky Life | KET

Appalachian artist Tami Booher uses the palette knife technique to create textured landscapes and scenes of everyday rural life in bright colors. Booher grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of southwestern Virginia and explored the woods near her home as a child. That love of nature continues to inspire her today. Her paintings reflect the natural world of Eastern Kentucky, from black bears and deer to chickens and pigs. She celebrates the strength and wisdom of Appalachian woman in her Wise Women series of paintings. The women in her paintings are faceless, she says, so that they may represent any woman. They are doing everyday tasks like cooking and tending tomato plants. However, some of the paintings are more symbolic, such as the Memory Keeper woman, who stands under a tree bearing old black-and-white photos. Booher's paintings also capture the scenic vistas of barns, valleys and mountains. We meet her at one of the most beautiful places in Elliott County, the Laurel Gorge Cultural Heritage Center.
