I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you—I’ve been chosen to be in the first edition of The Scout Guide Lafayette! This incredible honor has me thinking about my journey as an artist and the community that has supported me along the way.
For those who might not be familiar, The Scout Guide is a beautifully curated publication that highlights local businesses, artisans, and creatives who make their cities special. It’s all about celebrating the unique talents and stories that define a community, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of this inspiring group.
The Heart of The Scout Guide
The Scout Guide is more than just a publication; it’s a celebration of local culture and creativity. By connecting people to small businesses and entrepreneurs in their area, it fosters a sense of community and encourages us to shop local, support local, and dream big right here at home. It’s this shared love for creativity and connection that makes being featured such a meaningful moment.
What This Means for My Art
As an artist, my work is deeply rooted in my southern Louisiana life and the coastal landscapes that inspire me. Whether it’s the peaceful tones of a large abstract landscape, the lively colors of an expressionistic floral, or the whimsical personality of an abstract face, each piece reflects a part of me and my connection to this area. Being part of The Scout Guide Lafayette feels like a full-circle moment—a recognition of the ways my art contributes to the cultural fabric of our community.
A Moment of Gratitude
I wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of my collectors, followers, friends, and family. Your encouragement, kind reviews, and genuine love for my art keep me inspired every single day. Whether you’ve purchased a piece, commissioned a painting, or simply left a kind comment on social media, know that you’ve played a part in this achievement. Thank you for believing in my vision and for sharing this journey with me.
What’s Next?
As I celebrate this exciting feature, I’m also looking ahead to what’s next. From creating new collections to diving deeper into my art journey, I’m filled with fresh energy and ideas. I’ll be sharing more about my feature in The Scout Guide Lafayette on social media, so stay tuned for behind-the-scenes glimpses and reflections.
This opportunity reminds me of the importance of staying authentic and following your passion. I hope it inspires you to celebrate your own unique journey, support the creatives around you, and find beauty in the local treasures that make our community shine.
Thank you for celebrating with me! If you’re local to Lafayette, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of The Scout Guide and discover all the incredible talent our area has to offer.
