Join us for a walking tour of the many beautiful courtyard homes and pedestrian paths of Alys Beach from 10-2pm on Saturday, October 3!
We are excited to feature artwork by artists from New Orleans. Please stop by on the tour and check out their fabulous works!
Nicole Charbonnet
?Whether painting images or abstract gestures, my paintings are textural and built up with layers over time. The superimposition of textures, images, collage, words and paint create surfaces that retain or reveal a memory of preexisting stages, resulting in paintings that both illuminate the past and encourage interpretations that function as starting points in and of themselves.?

Raine Bedsole
?For years I've painted and built boats that 'fly' in a metaphorical sense, inspired by myth and history. Boats are powerful symbols of transcendence. Mine are vessels of the psyche, instruments for navigating inner worlds. They reflect personal journeys, as evoked by photographer Minor White as he closed his eyes on his deathbed and said, "I have to go now. There's a small boat waiting."

?I approach each canvas as though to tell a story. Often the work begins with phrases or sentences from short stories, written on the canvas. From there, the ideas flow and the paintings themselves become intuitive translations of that which words cannot express?a language of the heart, not the mind.?
Karen Laborde, contemporary mixed media painter, New Orleans, Louisiana
Amanda Talley
?Painting, for me, is about translating the activity and movement of the outside world into a vocabulary of paint and line. Each painting experience becomes a challenge to push aesthetic decision-making aside, in favor of drawing in the moment. The best paintings occur when I succeed in letting action dictate form.?
