The history and romance of a steam boat churning the muddy waters of the Mississippi River takes you back to a bygone era as it glides past the French Quarter.

Follow this artistSince arriving in New Orleans, I have worked to capture and intrigue the local art community with my eclectic work. I gather much of my inspiration from the colorful characters that I see everyday in my local environment. The city of New Orleans inspires me and has provided the backdrop for much of my work. This unique city is like no other place in the USA with its cultural diversity, history, architecture, music, and iconic festivals.
My "funky" style of art is unsophisticated and crude, providing a sense of freedom from ordinary life. My style emphasizes bold colors as well as a fun and vibrant vibe in which I try to find humor in the subjects that often have a serious undertone. Being able to laugh, even at ourselves, eases life's burdens. My art represents my appreciation for all people and their unique characteristics and contributions to society, making the world an interesting place to live.
I took classes at The Blue Easel Club in New Orleans, and the New Orleans Academy of Fine Art. I also studied under mural artist Pedro Vidal in Villahermosa, Mexico. I currently live in the Bywater neighborhood in New Orleans, LA.
