First Grade Flying with Folk Artist, Billy Fred Hellams

Ever hear of Billy Fred Hellams? Billy Fred Hellams is from Anderson, South Carolina.  I found this bio on Billy Fred: (Billy Fred Hellams Bio Link)

My name is Billy Fred Hellams. I was born August 10, 1955 on the road in Carolina and have always had an inquisitive and creative spirit. I am a self-taught artist who sculpts, paints, draws, assembles and juxtaposes media into my interpretations using mostly recycled materials.

My folk name is F R E D which is part of my true name and has several acronyms, Found Recycled Eclectic Designs and Folk Recycle Every Day.

This is “Why I Am”.
