Hazel Kinney was born in 1929 in Mason County, KY and married Noah Kinney in 1960. She lived with the Kinney brothers on their farm in Holler Hollow until Noah's death in 1991. Hazel began painting in the late 1980's and has pursued her art more seriously since the deaths of Charles and Noah Kinney. Her earliest drawings were made on scraps of lumber, and she continues to draw on anything she can find, including rocks. Hazel mixes a range of materials including watercolor, felt markers, pens, colored pencil, oil pastel and crayons on poster board, paper, and wood panels. Her subjects include those topics most familiar to her ... Bible stories, country life in Appalachia and animals that often appear larger then their human companies. Her bold compositions and use of color complement the simplicity of style that makes her work so engaging. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Kentucky Folk Art Center and the Southern Ohio Museum.
