document.write("<p>Folk art, by one definition, is described as, “that which represents a mixture of vernacular aesthetics, popular demand, historical fascination, memory, sentiment and patriotism.” Guy Duval is one such young artist with great confidence and talent. And why not?  He apprenticed under one of the current great folk art masters of metal sculpture, Hubert Bernard.  His relationship with Bernard goes beyond the artistic and into the spiritual realm, as Bernard is his pastor as well.  Guy is currently working on large fish designs, fish being important to his island country as a food source, a symbol of the sea in Voodoo culture, and additionally as a Christian icon. </p><p>In a recent letter to Casey Riddell of It's Cactus,, Guy wrote, “I take this moment extraordinary to introduce to you my model of fish.  I think you and your friends are going to like it very much. Madame, I am young, but I have a lot of experience at this work.  God bless you!!&quot;</p><p></p>");
