Cajun Christmas
private home as public art

they placed the rich on high and the poor and middlin’ they laid low


Cajun Christmas is a seasonal work painted as if the devastation of the floodwaters in New Orleans has extended to my house on Capitol Hill. This work uses the house as painting support and is the latest piece in HOME wRAP, a group of monumental paintings that addresses the politicization of private life and the demise of domesticity.

All funds from the sale of Cajun Christmas will go to the Baton Rouge Area Foundation to provide grants for visual artists
