 He will be missed by all who knew him.

Tubby Brown was born June 25, 1929, in Jackson County, Georgia.

It wasn't until he retired in 1981 from the grocery store he had owned for 35 years that Tubby Brown began to make his art. He began by building birdhouses, but soon his imagination led him to create "more oddball stuff." His pieces which are made from scrap lumber, tin or found objects are finished with brightly painted colors. An Angel's Christmas Tree, a Devil's Hot Tub and a Noah's Ark are a few of his favorite subjects. Though many of Brown's pieces have religious themes, humor is his main ingredient.

Tubby Brown is becoming a popular folk artist whose work is shown by many galleries. He is included in private collections throughout the country.
