This piece was created for the Louisiana Department of Health's Bring Back Louisiana initiative, a bold grassroots campaign to bring COVID-19 vaccines to communities of concern and bring back the Louisiana we know and love.

Follow this artistI am a graduate of Nicholls State University and have been teaching Art for over 23 years. I have taught all grade levels and abilities, but I am currently teaching high school in Terrebonne Parish. Originally from Winter Park, Florida, I have been a Louisiana resident since 1991. I have served as president of the Bayou Regional Arts Council, the South Louisiana Center for the Arts as well as a board member for the Friends of Nicholls State University Kenny Hill Sculpture Garden.
Most of my art is inspired by the flora and fauna of South Louisiana. The mystical bayous, captivating culture and the endearing people cast their spell upon me on my visit and I have been enchanted by their spirit and energy ever since. My work is colorful, expressive, and often has a sense of humor. (I love it when viewers get the joke!) I work primarily with acrylic on panel but have been known to create "folk art" through the use found objects, corrugated metal, furniture, driftwood, antique frames, whatever!
