Leo Naugler is one of Nova Scotia's best known folk artists. Before taking up folk art in 1989, he worked on the highways, and at various other jobs, and owned an automobile body shop. His work is included in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia collection and was featured in a group of selected works which toured the United Kingdom in 1989. His brothers Ransford and Bradford, with whom he appeared in the 1994 National Film Board production, "Folk Art Found Me", are also well known folk artists. Leo has been the subject of a number of newspaper and magazine articles, and has been featured on several television shows. More recently, a number of his works were included in an exhibition which toured Canada in 1996, and one of his paintings was featured on the Nova Scotia Folk Art Society poster for 1998.
