Go Saints!

The first of a triptych that was commissioned by a friend for her new home in New Orleans. It was a totally open ended commission, which made it both fun and challenging. I knew that my friend prefers non-representational art, so I focused on creating a lot of texture and subtle symbolism. This particular piece is layered with obvious New Orleans symbolism, a cat to my stamp on the piece, and swirls that remind me both of the shape and the chaos of hurricanes. All three pieces were finished with a metallic glaze which makes them nearly impossible to photograph, but really fun to look at.
