Vieux Carre’s Place d’Armes
Jackson Square holds several reminders of the resilience of all who stood side by side as equals defending the home we now call NOLA in the Battle of New Orleans, 1815. After the battle Vieux Carre’s Place d’Armes (Old Quarter’s Weapons Square) was renamed Jackson Square and at it’s heart resides a cast iron equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson. A lasting tribute commanding attention sitting atop his horse Duke while he rears up & tip his hat to the city of New Orleans. Ringing from the main bell tower of St. Louis Cathedral is ‘Victoire’, the bell named in honor of Gen. Andrew Jackson’s defeat of the English. St. Louis Cathedral’s smaller steeples also have something to say through their wrought iron finials. Adinkra symbols created by West African blacksmith craftsmen the ‘sankofa’, a stylized heart, translates to ‘success in the future is dependent upon reclaiming wisdom from the past’.

ABOUT the FINE ART GICLEE: Produced from my original artwork and they are printed on high-quality archival canvas using archival inks, stretched over a .75” or 1.5” wood frame with the print image wrapping around edge of canvas and are ready to hang using the mounted picture wire. (The 1.5” depth canvas works best for hanging without framing.) The giclee is signed on the front in silver, titled/labeled/signed on the back and comes with a signed letter of authenticity should it ever need appraisal.
CUSTOM FRAMING: Handmade floating frames created using reclaimed wood. Frames add an additional 3 inches to the overall width and height of giclee.

I paint in an impasto style using oil paint with palette/painting knives. Painting with palette knives allow a freedom I never enjoyed with brushes. I'm drawn to New Orleans cityscapes and Louisiana landscapes. I'm inspired by the vibrant vivid colors and heavy textures achieved with this three dimensional painting style. I enjoy capturing a view that I would enjoy spending a couple of hours in front of, taking in all the flavor of my surrounding.
