Durwood Pepper

Whirling windmills and whirligigs, along with tin-can flowers and creatures made from cut metal, is what Durwood Pepper calls art.  His brightly painted artwork spills over the driveway around his home and down the steep slope heading to Lake Lanier.

"I just like the old folk art," said Pepper, a Gainesville native. "I use the old metal from chicken houses. I'm not interested in fancy artwork, I'm more country. And I think it's more personalized.  " Everything is just one of a kind and it speaks to me more."
