Welcome

Welcome to the online gallery of Florida Highwaymen and self-taught art. The artwork offered for sale is selected from the Monroe Family Collection.

University Press of Florida has published ten books written by Gary Monroe about non-academic Florida artists. These include the primary texts, The Highwaymen: Florida’s African-American Landscape Painters and Extraordinary Interpretations: Florida’s Self-taught Artists.

Building this collection of artwork has taken more than four decades and most of the artwork was acquired directly from the artists.
