The PAINTED COW GALLERY houses many award winning artisans from

Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio and beyond.

 

It is the first fine art gallery in Lawrence County, Kentucky, and contains an eclectic mix of hand made artwork.  Maureen Dosier is the owner/operator of the gallery and a working artist .

She has been the president of the Lawrence County Arts Council since 1998 and an advocate of the Arts initiating festivals to the area,  promoting the Arts in schools through instruction and contests, and now the gallery which also serves as the studio home to the Lawrence County Arts Council artisans.

Maureen encourages adults and children to feel free to come in and browse,

ask questions and to be educated and uplifted and inspired by the artwork.

Louisa is part of the Appalachian experience and many talented residents
were self taught and they have no idea how talented they are.  At the gallery they are made aware that their artwork has value and should be displayed,

 not just given away to friends and relatives.  Since moving to Kentucky in 1994 from South Florida, Maureen is always on the look out to promote new talent

many have been her students and turn them into professional artists.

Many of the seasoned artists in the gallery are skilled in more than one medium and sell a variety of the their award winning artwork including books, quilts, soft textiles, sculptures,  decorative furniture, stringed instruments, photography and paintings.  Commissioned artwork is welcomed by many of the artists at the

PAINTED COW GALLERY.
