Our surroundings have a powerful effect on our day to day lives and this ongoing relationship has been documented by artists to help explain our connections. Poets, painters, and photographers have long used Louisiana’s coast and her plains as their muse, drawing inspiration from her flowing waters and her changing coast line.
With “My Louisiana Muse” I aim to produce fine art portraits of these very artists surrounded by their inspirations, dreams, and muse. I want to bring together the lineage of Muse, Inspiration, and Art. I am honored to have some help with this project by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation Community Partnership Grant which will help me with supplies and operating costs. Thank you! This grant is a direct effect of how Jazz Fest can directly help Louisiana artists like me!
