Ralph Griffin was born in Burke County Georgia in 1925. With his wife, Loretta, he settled in the rural community of Girard and raised six children. He worked as a janitor and at a variety of other jobs. In the late 1970's he began scavenging roots and weathered tree trunks and using black, white or red paint to turn them into sculpture like creatures. His work is in the permanent collections of many museums including the Birmingham Museum of Art and the Rockford Art Museum. Ralph passed away in 1992.
