Offering a new take on an art form that was in full bloom during the mid-19th century, Pat Wattam’s realism makes for a chic and timeless production. Her oil paintings authentically portray the raw beauty of Louisiana’s landscapes and nature.


For most, sentimental art is paramount. This preserved and pressed flower art keeps sweet and tender memories lasting with the real thing. From wedding flowers to a loved one’s last gifted bouquet, Kelly Jean’s art keeps those moments alive.

Louisiana native Janice Jurkovic uses modern impressionism to convey stories of her compassion and faith. With lots of emphasis on light, loose brushstrokes and a defiance of reality, her art is refreshing.


This mixed media art makes for a story to be told. Lori Demand shares that florals unexpectedly found her as an artist. But, as an expressionist painter, they became the muse for portraying her emotions. See more about Demand’s story here.
