Excited to finally share this article I wrote for the National Gallery of Art regional storytelling intiative, West to East!

They reached out to me in December 2024 and it’s been a long road to this article’s publication last month. My commission has gone through many rounds of edits as the political landscape shifted underneath it, but I’m excited to finally have this out in the world.

The piece examines how my work fits into a longer history of artists portraying the Louisiana landscape, the influence of industry on that visual tradition, and what the future holds.

Thank you to the folks at National Gallery of Art who worked with me to get my story out there and remain true to my practice, to Jenn Ackerman + Tim Gruber 📸 who spent time in my studio and followed my google pins offshore to capture the breadth of this story; and to Katie Pfohl for curating the show at NOMA back in 2019 that helped me understand the legacy of Louisiana artists complicated dealings with extractive industries over time.

Update: My landlord and I made some improvements to the front studio — on the lookout for a long-term studio-mate to move in ASAP ;)

-380 sq ft, now fully enclosed with its own lockable door and a window

-14’ ceilings

-Not climate controlled, but with the new wall, it could easily be cooled with the addition of an AC unit

-$450/month, utilities and internet included (you’ll need to get liability insurance)

-Shares a bathroom, slop sink, entrance, and rolling garage door with my studio space

-Located on the Lafitte Greenway near Bayou St. John, in a warehouse full of artists, makers, and musicians

Looking for a responsible, tidy, and respectful studio-mate (just one person, not multiple tenants please).

Not suitable for woodworkers or ceramicists due to dust.

Know someone who’d be a great fit? Please send them my way!

Managed to escape the New Orleans summer sweat for a couple weeks and do some serious forest bathing: running, hiking, drawing, and best of all, exploring the wet, ferny forest and lake edge with Sand Longbeard

Getting to draw outside every day was a gift; especially the afternoons with Sam.

And then, fittingly for 2026, our trip ended enveloped in Canadian wildfire smoke.

And we returned home to tropic storm warnings, hope everyone made it through TS Bertha safely

1. In my peak forest bath element
2. I love drawing this upturned tree, and do it every year
3. I can endlessly see new things in the exposed roots
4. Trees holding onto the shore
5. And each other
6. White birch tree
7. A very important plant and a stunning part of the ecosystem
8. The other-side of the upturned tree
9. I could also draw this side endlessly, is it a placenta, or a rootball or a million other dendritic things that radiate from a center?
10. My favorite fellow forest bather in repose
11. Fern valley
12. AQI in Detroit the third to last day of our trip !

On the lookout for a new long-term studio-mate! My studio-mate is moving out, and I’m looking for someone to rent the front of my studio space starting Aug 1.

-$450/month, utilities + internet included (you’ll need your own liability insurance)

-Located on the Lafitte Greenway in Mid-City; in a warehouse full of artists, makers, and musicians

-Looking for a responsible, tidy, respectful studio-mate (just one person please, not multiple tenants). Not suitable for woodworkers or ceramicists due to dust.

Sailing into 40 like….

I’m 40 now ! To mark this milestone, I chartered a couple boats and brought friends + family to spend the day with me on Horn Island, 12 miles off the coast of MS, in the spirit of Walter Anderson; who used to row himself out and spend weeks at a time there by himself making art from the landscape.

The island is wild and beautiful and looks just straight out of a Walter Anderson painting. The trip was too short, but looking forward to returning to camp there sometime soon and the many other adventures in art, exploring ecosystems, and doing all these things with people I love ahead.

Its also been a season of cakes, birthday and otherwise, may cake season never end

If you live in New Orleans, you know it’s Give Nola Day; a powerful moment to support local nonprofits.

I’d love for you to consider supporting (ASITW). It’s a true gem in our arts ecosystem, hosting 50+ artists and scholars each year and creating programs that connect people to nature while sparking creative responses to the challenges of our time.

ASITW has meant a lot to me over the years, and I’m proud to serve on the board. I’ve watched my kids grow in that forest, and I hope we can sustain this special place for generations to come.

Our goal is $10,000; can you chip in?
