BIOGRAPHY
Born in Eden, Mississippi, United States, Thomas was known as a folk artist
for his sculptures made from un-fired clay which he dug out of the banks of
the Yazoo River.
His most famous sculpted images were skulls (often featuring actual human
teeth) which mirrored his job as a gravedigger and his often stated
philosophy that "we all end up in the clay".
In 1985, Thomas had his work featured in the prestigious Corcoran Gallery
in Washington, D.C. where he was introduced to Mrs. Nancy Reagan then First
Lady.
Thomas' skulls can also be found on display in several blues museums
throughout Mississippi including the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale and
the Highway 61 Blues Museum in Leland.
Thomas played at numerous blues festivals and private parties throughout
the area including the Mississippi Delta Blues and Heritage Festival in
Greenville.....
