Cajun French families are and will always be the tight knit fabric that holds together South Louisiana. The artfulness of a dying language and the strong bonds that hold families together for generations - the threads of my culture run strong and deep. From listening to my uncle play the accordion on his back porch on late nights with my sister and I, to watching my aunts sit around their dinner tables and stitch some of the most beautiful embroidery I’ve seen; art has always weaved its way into my life. Even though most of them won’t admit themselves to be, the lineage of artists throughout my roots run strong. Most of my work, no matter the subject matter, is dedicated to the women, the artists and creators, in my family; as they are not only the creators of an extensive family I find myself wrapped in, but they are also creators of pieces of art that bred my love for design. ​My subject matter for my pieces varies from the suffering of women and queer people to their perseverance through their struggles. The meanings of all my pieces have a level of sacredness to me that I sometimes feel uncomfortable sharing. I create works for the lonely, the marginalized, and the questioning heretics. I make art to sanctify each of these people, as I have lived as each one.
