Appalachia’s
pencil artist
About
the artist
Worn, weathered, forgotten or overlooked things… these are the inspiration for Ralph’s work…
As seen in Blue Ridge Country Magazine
Ralph’s work can be found displayed throughout the Appalachian region in finer shops and galleries. Prints of his work as well as originals are found in collections throughout the United States.
Ralph Cale reminds us that the past is not entirely gone. It lingers in the grain of old wood, in the dust on a windowpane, and in the eyes of a face we almost recognize. With nothing more than a pencil and a great deal of heart, he brings it back to us, quietly and truthfully. That is no small gift.
