About A "Watson"
Henry Watson creates painted carvings from 100 year old cypress
wood. Each piece speaks from the reclaimed cypress wood found
in slave homes and barns, to the 3-D carving of the wood taught
by his blind grandmother's hands, to the painted colors that
express his emotions from the elements of the earth. He speaks
of when he touches the finished product he feels the history. He
sees the beauty of nature. He can hear the voices and the music.
He can smell and taste the wonderful foods. "Watsons" are
Louisiana. The art is his heritage, his family. Watson art is Henry.
He wants people to enjoy his work and experience Louisiana in a
Watson.
