Michelle Mann Considered one of the South’s top watercolor artists, Jack Clouse DeLoney was born and raised on a cotton farm in Ozark.

Because he needed to be quarantined immediately, DeLoney was sent to his grandparents’ home on Broad Street. “I was basically paralyzed at the time,” he said. Later he was taken to Warm Springs, Georgia, site of the country’s premier polio treatment facility. In 2006 DeLoney authored “Here at Home,” a 96-page, coffee-table style book that tells the stories behind more than 100 of his most popular paintings. “This book was a 20-year dream of mine,” he said. “One of my hopes is my work will live on and be enjoyed for generations to come.”
