Photography was one of the first art forms I was interested in and is a great resource for my works in clay and paint. I've been interested in photography since I was a teenager and refer to the multitudes of photographs I take locally.
My need to expose the beauty of South Louisiana's culture, wildlife and wetlands to the world is what inspires many of my designs. The people, food and culture here is interesting and unlike anything in the U.S. All this is what makes this place home. It's my life. It's what I'm about. It's a part of me.
Now I feel hurried. Documentation is needed more than ever to prove that it all was once here, because in the near future, it may no longer be. At the rate we are loosing wetland, this could happen in my children's lifetime. This is nothing new. The world should know.
My first posts will be of some local photographs. The beginnings of my designs.
I am passionate about home state, as are so many who live here, but some don't necessarily see the beauty that we do. This is my outlet to be able to convey that message to others that just don't understand. I showcase my artwork depicting the landscapes, nature and culture of the area, along with other works. At times I also offer information on what is going on locally. This is South Louisiana seen through my eyes, through my art: Pottery - Paintings - Photography
