King Louis

2017

A portrait of Louis Armstrong commissioned by Nola Media Group, producers of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune as part of its tricentennial project, 300 for 300: People who make New Orleans, New Orleans. Growing up my dad would listen to music and teach us about its history. Louis Armstrong was one of the legends he taught us about. Since then, Louis Armstrong has always been a musical icon to me. I can not be more honored to be from New Orleans being that it started the first genre of American born music; therefore, I can not be more honored to be able to share the same birthplace as the King of Jazz. Louis Armstrong contributed so much to the world of music and I was so excited to paint him. It was important to capture his crown with one Swarovski crystal, his horn, his title on his mic, and him playing some of my favorites of his songs. | Read full story |

Queen Hope Parker

Artist + Queen Hope Parker

I, Hope Parker, was born and raised downtown New Orleans. Growing up I was introduced to a culture of cooking, music, dance, and arts and crafts. Art was so fun, I personally used it as an extra activity I indulged in from time to time. I enjoyed walking through the French Quarters art galleries and dreamed of being a fashion designer one day. I attended McDonald 35 Senior High, but due to Hurricane Katrina, I graduated from Westside High in Houston, Texas. After graduating high school I moved back home and worked full time while attending Delgado, then William Carey for nursing prerequisites. In between time beginning 2010, I unconsciously started a spiritual transition. I cut my hair natural, pierced the frontlet between my eyes, and took heed to spiritual messages. I started writing my thoughts and feelings as poetry using it to describe the story behind my art. August 2012, I enrolled in Dillard University School of Nursing. I graduated in May 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am currently a Registered Nurse aspiring to become a Nurse Midwife. I completed Doula training with Sista Midwife Productions in November 2014 and became a part of Birthmark Doula Collective shortly after. People often ask, “What’s your focus?” This is a difficult conversation in one setting. It’s a lifestyle, a belief, and a way of life. I dream of a world where we can live holistically in nature, health, and beauty. Originality and authenticity of species and spirit is my highest value. I am working my way into the art world to continue sharing this vision with the world.
