Art Bumpkin is a self taught artist. A tinkerer he is often found making, breaking and fixing stuff. He is an Outsider (sometimes cutting the lawn), a Contemporary Yokel, a Post-Modern Rube, and a High Speed Luddite. In his free time he creates work out in his barn in Ellensburg, WA.

 

After years of sporadic creation, interruption, and other creative pursuits, Art Bumpkin was driven to start creating visual art again in 2024. His recent thinking and work has been centered on rural and urban identities and the divides between them both real and imagined. He often works in paint, including acrylic, enamel and watercolors. Much of his recent work was created with found objects reclaimed from his farm.
