About this title

Synopsis:

A detailed look at the authors's extraordinary artwork documenting her life includes her marriage to Ricky Nelson, weddings, birthdays, the hippie dreams of the 1970s, her family history, independence, strength, and powerful emotions that are displayed throughout.

From Library Journal:

The daughter of a celebrity family who married Ozzie and Harriet Nelson's son Ricky, Tinker began to paint in the naive style after seeing an American primitive collection in her in-laws' home. Tinker paints from memory, for commissions, and also re-creates visions of family events from recollections supplied by her relatives. This autobiography in paintings presents more than 100 works created over 35 years, combined with entries from Tinker's journals, poems, quotes, and old family photos. The paintings offer a simplistic charm while capturing a moment in time, and the emotionally linked text recalls happiness, dreams, and despair. For libraries with comprehensive art collections that include studies of naive artists or those who paint in the folk style.?Judith Yankielun Lind, Roseland Free P.L., N.J.
