Husband and wife folk artists Walter Gottshall (1921-2018) and June Gottshall (1920-2021) lived in a log house outside of Reinholds, Pa. Walter was a woodcarver, and June painted the carvings. Beginning in the early 1970s, the couple had a decades-long career and did many regional folk art shows. They were supporters of the Reinholds Trinity Chapel craft show and also longtime exhibitors at the annual Kutztown Folk Festival. Their folk carvings have a healthy market today with collectors and is often signed WJG. Pennsylvania German folk art ran in the family. Walters aunt was antiques dealer and folk painter Hattie Klapp Brunner (1890-1982). Brunner marketed and sold Gottshalls work in her shop (The Tulip Shop) in the 1970s. Walters parents were Luke (1899-1993) and Fannie (1891-1976) Gottshall of Reinholds. Fannie and Hattie were sisters. Luke was known for his folk art wagons, bird carvings, and fabric collages. Some of the work was a collaborative effort with Fannie. She was known for creating fabric birds. Walter and June had three children. Their late son, David, did reverse painting on glass. Daughter Barbara Strawser (1944-2024) was a folk painter. Walter served in WWII, was a carpenter by trade, but later relied on his folk art for a living. He carved many creatures, such as birds, including eagles, herons, cranes, storks, roosters, and parrots, along with other figures such as lions, dogs, fish, Santas, wall boxes, and much more.
