Art @ New Orleans

How fitting to find these sites regarding art around New Orleans — where I am now:

Michael Dingler’s NoLa Rising, a post-Katrina art campaign encouraging people in all faubourgs of Greater New Orleans to publicly display works of art, regardless of how simple or untutored it may seem to be, for the purpose of rebuilding and restoring the human spirit in our city. NOLA is a unique and beautiful city that has historically embraced the spirit of personal freedom that supports the growth of the artist, musician and writer … the goal of the NoLa Rising Project is to showcase that spirit.

Art in Action, and ongoing art project in the Holy Cross Section of New Orleans.

Bayou Contessa, who writes about inspirations from New Orleans.

Get happy checking them out.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
