One of twelve children, Buddy Snipes was born in Macon
County Alabama in 1945. As a child, he made toys for himself
and the other children out of whatever he could find. He
also made wagons and wheelbarrows out of tree limbs and
scrap lumber which he sold to neighbors. Later he worked as
a pulpwooder, a logger, a farmhand, a dishwasher, and he
fixed things for people ... broken furniture, sagging doors,
and fences. About ten years ago he started to make
assemblages from roots, tree limbs, vines, scrap lumber, and
anything else he could find around that triggers his
imagination. He also draws pictures on scrap lumber and
frames them with some of his found objects.
