The paintings are inspired by Jessica's love for the nature, people, and culture of South Louisiana.Since the young age of four years old!art, animals (all of them), the muddy water of the bayou, the smell of baked desserts in the oven, crawfish boils, the first football game on a fall evening, books, and bright colors have brought joy and inspiration to her art.Almost one year after Hurricane Katrina and graduating from LSU in 2007 Jessica moved to the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, yet still missed the way of life on the bayou.Therefore, in 2012 she came home.And in her mind, whomever said, "Home is where the heart is," just had to be talking about Louisiana.
