Venice, Louisiana: The End of the World


For my 2020 show, I traveled to the very end of the river on which I have lived for most of my life to Venice, Louisiana, the self-proclaimed “End of the World”, which stretches out into the Gulf of Mexico. Here I photographed from a new perspective with the help of a drone camera.


Since then I’ve been from the Pearl River border of Southeast Louisiana to the Heart of the Atchafalaya. I’ve seen and photo-documented these sites. I’ve met the people and have heard their stories. It is my attempt to visually preserve this vanishing way of life. 


This current show of photorealistic landscapes is a visual narrative of the land, swamps, rivers and bayous between the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers, an area of America’s Wetlands threatened by recurring hurricanes, rising coastal waters and the enduring struggle to prevent the Mississippi River from changing course into the Atchafalaya River basin.


These paintings are a continuation of documenting the exploration of this region, bringing an awareness of the fragility that exists for our ecosystem, nature and culture, while celebrating and cherishing her beauty.
