Local artist Kenny Harper, a native of Madison County, spent approximately thirty years living on a sailboat and cruising the Caribbean, Atlantic and Gulf.

His work explores the colors and sensations that surrounded him during his travels to carnivals, state fairs and all the way to Madison Square Garden.  MORE INFORMATION
