What is Grassroots Art?

Grassroots Art is created by self-taught individuals, usually during their retirement years. They work for many years, often driven by a vision, creating an enviroment meant to be viewed. Many times, the artist is inspired by seemingly useless recycled items. These environments are challenging to preserve and often deteriorate or are dismantled when the artist dies.

Old Blue Studio & Proving Grounds

LeAnne Doljac uses a variety of mediums and materials with salvaged and recycled items.  While she often starts with a plan, she favors the intuitive process over holding to the original plan.  Her use of strong colors and exploration of conflicting themes often results in edgy, whimsical pieces. 

Based in Stilwell & Lucas, Kansas.
