Hurricane Katrina was a testament to the fragility of this incredible area. Marsh Muses (left) In spires an artist to contemplate and create. Moss on rees shadowing marsh flowers enkindles a sensual response and motivates a visual melody from. This artwork consists of two separate canvases to symbolize how we detach ourselves from nature, avoiding efforts tocosere and preserve the planet.

There is an old Chinese Proverb:“When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.“

mimi was born in New Orleans during the rush to the

suburbs after WWII.

Her mother could trace her ancestors back to

original land grant settlers along

the Mississippi River in the ' German Coast '.

Her mama's blood is Cajun. but falling in love

with a guy from the Irish Channel

made mimi half 'Yat'.

to children and adults.


IN 1989 she was inspired to help the at-risk, inner city

teens of her school. She became a founding partner

of young aspirations/young artists, YA/YA, INC.


Madeleine chooses to reject the artificial and

technical in her paintings.

True art is an expression of time and place....

our human reactions to our

world are communicated through our media.

THIS WEBSITE HAS EXAMPLES OF HER work after

Hurricane Katrina.

HER ART EXPRESSES JOY IN THE REBIRTH OF LOUISIANA
