Guy LaBree: Barefoot Artist of the Florida Seminoles
by Carol Mahler.
Hardcover, 232 pgs. University Press of Florida, 2010.

Guy LaBree’s connection to the Seminole Tribe of Florida began when he was an elementary school student in the 1940s living near the Dania (now Hollywood) reservation in Florida. However, it wasn't until the 1970s that his relationship with the tribe grew into a remarkable creative partnership.

This book features forty-two stunning selections from this self-taught artist's output of more than 1,000 paintings. It also tells, for the first time, the intriguing story behind the white man who became A Bosh Che-Will A Tee Chee: "The Barefoot Artist of the Seminoles."

Carol Mahler is a professional storyteller, freelance writer, teacher, and musician.
