This painting speaks on the idea of a group of friends an what brings them together when they are from Appalachia. All the boys are wearing Ralph Lauren Polos as a way of elevating their status amongst those who cant afford them. However, in contrast, they are chewing tobacco as a way of being connected to where they are from and to their friendship. 

"Grizzly"

An oil painting that features a cartoonish like scene from a fair/ market event that takes place in eastern Kentucky called "court day". The characters are meant to be comical but very real to the life and trauma of Appalachia. 

"Court Day"

An art auction contains a white collar appreciation for artwork. For a long time, the stereotypical unrefined nature of a hillbilly is one that many Appalachian folks must face as they pursue education, jobs or interest within urban areas. The artist Ceirra Evans illustrates just that juxtaposition as a personal narrative of navigating the art world. 

"Hillbilly at an Art Auction"

This young cowboy is enjoying some whiskey on a day to repent. Don't you want to join?

"Drunken Sundays"

This artwork communicates the colloquial term of "Heifer" as used in Appalachia. Hiefer usually refers to a type of female cow. However, in day to day conversation, Heifer is used to describe a woman who has made a wrong decision or someone unfavorable. A hair shop is a perfect place to present the potential gossip that could conclude in calling someone a heifer or realizing that they are in fact a heifer as well.
