Welcome to my creative haven where Louisiana's rich culture and the beauty of nature come together in a unique and sustainable way. What started as a simple hobby has blossomed into a passionate business, fueled by my love for our state & its vibrant culture.

​

My Story

My journey began with a simple idea: to turn discarded Louisiana oyster shells into art that captures the essence of our vibrant culture. Louisiana, with its Cajun and Creole influences, is a melting pot of traditions, flavors, and stories. I wanted to channel this richness into my artwork and simultaneously tackle environmental challenges by upcycling waste materials.

​

The Oyster Shell Difference

At the heart of my work lies the humble oyster shell, once considered waste but now a beautiful canvas for my creativity. Each shell carries a piece of Louisiana's history and contributes to its future. I meticulously collect, clean, and repurpose these shells into stunning pieces of art that pay homage to the state's unique heritage.

​

My Mission

My mission is twofold: to celebrate and showcase the beauty of Louisiana's culture and environment, and to promote sustainable practices that  support local communities. I believe that art has the power to tell stories, preserve traditions, and inspire change.

Supporting Local Communities

As a proud resident of Louisiana, I am deeply committed to supporting local businesses, communities, and artisans. When you choose my art, you're not just acquiring a unique piece of Louisiana; you're also contributing to the sustainability of our beloved state.

I invite you to become a part of my story, to embrace the beauty of Louisiana, and to champion sustainability through art. Whether you're a collector, an admirer, or a fellow eco-enthusiast, I hope to inspire you to see the potential in what others discard and to celebrate the essence of our unique culture.
