16x20” acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas

Part of the series from the photos I took when I lived in the French Quarter. This man seemed to be at every event from festivals to this secondline. Always wearing a Hawaiian or Jazz Fest shirt and a decorated umbrella and a drink in hand! I loved the peace signs and buttons on his umbrellas just dancing along with the second line with his happy hour drink, which is really all day!

16x20” Mixed Media (Acrylic and Collage) on a gallery wrapped canvas

This piece was inspired from a little bayou home in my neighborhood and the swampy surroundings around here in South Louisiana.

20 x 20” acrylic with gold leaf on gallery-wrapped canvas. A woman at a crossroads—shoulders squared, eyes heavy. Her silhouette sits against layered indigo, teal, ochre, and rose: night thoughts, memory, and loss. Bold brushstrokes carry small details—a faded photo, loose keys, a half-open door—symbols of choice. Thick brushstrokes marks suggest the heaviness of decisions; thin washes suggest release. Gold leaf veins throughout the painting hinting clarity and future glimmers. Playful color and brushstrokes create hope. An intimate visual poem about letting go and having hope

30x40” acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped canvas

Back in summer 2006, when I was living in the French Quarter walking around and took several photos of this Sunday Secondline of the New Orleans Baby Dolls (and others that are paintings too). The music from the brass bands, the dancing and strutting. People watching and dancing along with them as they stroll through the French Quarter. This is a normal Sunday in New Orleans.

15×30” acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped canvas

I took several photos of couples dancing to a Zydeco band at the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans. The dancers were electric, fun and full of movement. Bright swaths of color and lively brushwork convey the rhythm and motion of the scene, with playful expressive details from the dance partners to a glimpse of the band in the background. This piece celebrates music, motion, and the contagious spirit of Louisiana!

24x30" acrylic on canvas

One summer evening walking my dogs, the sky looked as though someone had reached up with a giant brush and painted clouds that kept billowing and blooming, soft edges glowing against the late light. The blue trailer sat back a little ways, its familiar patch of color grounding the scene, while the bayou homes—ones we always pass on our walks—lined with the trees like old friends. It felt quintessentially Louisiana: you can feel the humid summer air with the low, slow choreography of clouds, and the snapshots of homes stitched together by the route my dogs and I know by heart.

12 x 16" acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas. A warm, playful bayou scene inspired by a drive to Point Aux Chenes, Louisiana: a bayou home and a truck and a weathered shrimp boat on the bayou with crab traps piled up on the shore. Loose, expressive brushwork captures sunlit reflections on the water, muted marsh grasses, and the lived-in textures of coastal life. This tells the story of quiet Louisiana living on the bayou.

8x14” (approximate size) Acrylic painting on a New Orleans Roofing Slate

I saw this while walking the dogs Uptown in New Orleans on Henry Clay Avenue. The leftover Mardi Gras beads from a parade a couple months before almost blend into the magnolia and jasmine flowers leaving just a reminder.

Approximately 6×9” watercolor on paper

A Mardi Gras float rider throwing beads into a glittering crowd — a burst of color and whimsy. A playful watercolor: a rider on a float in bright purple, green, and gold and orange, and he is dressed in his satiny masked costume. Beads arc in his hand. Painted loose with loose with wet washes and a few finer lines to celebrate the moment.

Mardi Gras style at its finest! I saw a woman decked out in full festival colors this year and just had to paint her. This watercolor is all about those loose, fun details that capture the soul of the celebration. It’s the perfect decor to keep the good times rolling in your home all year long.

A lively, scene capturing a moment at the Fais Do Do stage during a New Orleans Jazz Fest. Loose, energetic brushstrokes suggest couples dancing—bodies in mid-step, skirts and shirts swirling—rendered in warm, festive colors that echo Cajun and Zydeco rhythms. Background shapes imply the stage without details, keeping the focus on movement and connection. The composition’s emphasizes the whimsical dancer , conveying the joy moving together as if they’d danced side by side forever

12×12” mixed media collage on wrapped canvas

The purple iris bursts into bloom across Louisiana each spring, from tended gardens to wild swamps. For this playful collage I layered several kinds of paper and added small accents of acrylic paint.

This playful 5×7″ collage on wrapped canvas celebrates the charm of a St. Charles Streetcar in New Orleans. Cut pieces of paper are layered like lively brush strokes, building texture and movement while capturing the colorful energy New Orleans is known for.
