J. M. Hutson is a noted North Carolina folk artist who does metalwork as well as outsider paintings. Since he was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, it explains why his creativity has always come in cycles and spurts! He might not pick up a brush for a week to 10 days, then again, he might work 24/7 night and day for a week or so, either painting or sketching out ideas to paint later! He really enjoyed seeing all of you in Atlanta at Folk Fest 2006!
