A well-known artist from Kosciusko is being recognized in a national publication.
The New York Times recently highlighted the work of self-taught folk artist L.V. Hull in a feature about her colorful and unconventional creations.
Hull became known for transforming everyday items — including hats, lamps, appliances, and tools — into vibrant works of art using paint, glitter, and decorative materials. For years, visitors traveled to her Kosciusko home to see the artwork that filled nearly every space.
Hull passed away in 2008, but her work continues to gain recognition. A major exhibition titled “L.V. Hull: Love Is a Sensation” will open March 20 at the Mississippi Museum of Art, featuring hundreds of her pieces.
Her legacy will also be preserved locally, as her former home in Kosciusko is set to open to the public in May as the L.V. Hull Legacy Center.
