I've been working with Vince Vance since 2009 painting portraits of many of The La Music Legends that he features in his La Music

I designed the CD cover for the North Shore Leadership Council titled "A Walk in the Park".
This CD features 16 local musicians including Ronnie Cole and Bernie Cyrus.
In 2005 after Hurricane Katrina I started a Lifesized Nativity Scene as a way to uplift the spirits of my community.
Each yr I have added to it. It now spans over an acre.
It has been featured in many Newspapers and Magazines. People come from all
over to see it.
I was the featured Artist in "The City Social Magazine"  January 2003 out of Baton Rouge.
I also designed a poster to help raise money for "Kids in Crisis Project 2003".

Before Hurricane Katrina I sold paintings out of "Evangelin's Coffee House" in Slidell,  La. where I also hosted several Art Festivals.

My Art is a reflection of the endless supply of inspiration that Louisiana offers.I am so fortunate to live here where I get to enjoy
the best music, architecture, art, food and joyful spirit daily.
