“I do what I do because I love it and it is fun!”

My artistic passion is as a visual artist, curator, and arts educator. I am native to Lafayette and have been professionally exhibiting art and actively participating in the cultural community for the past 30 years.  I have served on the boards of Acadiana Arts Council and the Louisiana Crafts Guild and currently on the board of the Lafayette Art Association. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and was artist-in-residence at Louisiana Artworks in New Orleans in March 2007. 

​In 2010 and in collaboration with Craig “Whoojoo” McCullen, we created the official art piece and poster for Festival Internationale de Louisiane.  And in 2012, created the official posters for the Miles Perret Cancer Services and the Grand Coteau’s “Sweet Dough Pie Festival”.  I teach classes at the Lafayette Art Association in addition to conducting summer arts programs for the Acadian Suzuke Strings  Institute.
