Woodie Long was a house painter for twenty-five years before he began experiencing health problems due to his occupation. He was depressed by his doctor’s orders to stop painting in 1987. Born in Plant City, Florida on October 19, l942, he was the son of a migrant farmer who settled in one place for a while to be a sharecropper.
His bright happy creations of his memories also began being sought out and purchased by people far and wide. Now his works are in many major private and corporate collections throughout the U.S. and abroad and have been shown in New York exhibitions since l992. Examples of his art are included in the permanent collections of the Cooperstown Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art , Wiregrass Museum and the Columbus Museum of Art. to name a few. His paintings have been published in numerous books, as CD covers and accompanying magazine articles in major magazines such as Smithsonian.
