For most of his 94 years, Vollis Simpson worked as a farmer, house mover and self-taught artist. When his town of Wilson, NC looked to rebound from the loss of tobacco farming, they found inspiration in Simpson’s creativity and grit. The result is a one-of-a-kind park featuring his wind-powered sculptures.
