Creole Lady created for the 10th Anniversary of the Essence Music Festival
24" x 19 1/2 Lithograph
Limited signed 1000/not numbered
Creole Lady is more than a print; she stands as an emblem of the Essence Music Festival and the cultural heartbeat of New Orleans. Her bold color and timeless style reflect the heritage of a city that has long celebrated Black excellence and creative expression.
Art is part of everyday life in New Orleans. From festivals to front porches, people collect works that carry the city’s stories forward. I created this legacy piece to remain accessible to everyone, because memory, culture, and beauty should belong to all of us.
This print is a reflection of Essence, a keepsake of place and community. The signature is my personal acknowledgment of your connection to the work and to the journey it represents.
