Artist’s BioGrowing up in the New Orleans area, I was the child of an artistic family. My grandfather, a prominent New Orleans artist, and my mother, also an artist, instilled a sense of defining a dream by making it visible. My father, a philosopher in his own right, entreated me with a mantra of “Follow your bliss”. This created a culture in which art was considered a staple of life and not an addendum. I knew early on that this was the fabric of my life. My artistic talents lead to a car.
