Americana Decorative Folk Art

The Green Street Company’s decorative folk painting is done on three-dimensional objects rather than on flat surfaces or traditional canvass. We paint on whatever surfaces that you may find around the house, in a factory, in an antique emporium, or even on a farm that looks like it may be given a new lease on life through painting.

For example, the paintings that are included in this gallery were created on a number of different materials, including various metals, wood, and paper mache.Acrylic is the paint medium that we use on all of decorative arts. Each piece undergoes a series of steps, e.g. preparing the surface for painting, sealing and sanding, staining, and base coating, to achieve a superior product.

We pride ourselves on transforming mundane objects into beautiful works of art. Whether you are searching for a one-of-a-kind gift idea, adding to an existing art collection, or purchasing something special for yourself, you are sure to find what you are looking for here!We encourage you to browse and purchase sale items in our online gallery today!

Ethnic & African American Folk Art Dolls

What distinguishes the Green Street Company folk art dolls from all the others is their hand-made one-of-a-kind quality. All of our dolls are dressed in period clothing. In some instances the doll clothing is made from antique fabric that we have collected through our travels. Our folk art dolls are styled with original button and jewelry embellishments that are made from vintage components, such as lucite, glass, wood, enameled metal, and other recycled materials.

Each doll is signed and undergoes a series of steps, e.g. cutting and pattern-making, sculpting and molding, sewing, painting, and antiquing. As you can imagine, each of our dolls takes a considerable amount of time to complete. Therefore, we are only able to make a limited number each year.Our doll creations will be much admired in your home, or will be a favorite gift for a friend or family member. Each doll with its memorable character is just waiting for you to take her/him home today!
