Jeff Mickey and Jean Flint

October 3-31, 2014
As working artists, who are married, we share many parts of each others lives. At times this overlap is productive and supportive, at times the egos of two artists living in the same space is a challenging endeavor. In both cases, the environment we live in is a strong and dynamic place in which to make art.

Visually our work is very different, that at first seems unrelated. But closer inspection reveals a quiet dialog that comes from shared experiences and responsibilities. Both bodies of work exhibited together speak to the similarities and differences of people who choose to share each others lives. In this exhibition we hope to find understanding about our own personal connections and hope that the viewer can find connections and understanding with us, either sympathetically or empathetically.

Drake Fuller

September 5-27, 2014
Drake moved to New Orleans in 1991, and was immediately struck by the architecture and the
people there. He began to realize that that in all his years of being an artist that he had stumbled into a new era of his life that would take his art into a whole different direction. His journey into the field of glass and photography had begun.

Drake's work represents the world as he sees it, (and the best way he can describe it through (physical media.) Using metal, wood, glass and LED lighting technology, he wants the viewer to peer into his thoughts and how he interprets things. This is what makes us unique from one another and gives us the chance to understand where each of us are going and where we have been.

This new series he is undertaking is his way of incorporating all he has ever done through the years and compile it into one lump sum that will take you on a journey he hopes you enjoy.

Lesley Dill

April 4 - 26, 2014

Lesley Dill’s work is characterized by the complex interweaving of a wide range of materials, image and text. Her constructions are suffused with emotional content. Language is a defining element in her work providing context and reference. The psyche and its relation to poetry and to the self are also core elements in Lesley Dill’s work. Her original syntheses of text and image combine language and the human body with a unique emotional directness.

Perique: Photographs by Charles Martin

February 7 -28, 2014:

Photographer Charles Martin will exhibit his body of work documenting the centuries-old tobacco-growing traditions of St. James Parish, in southeast Louisiana. The area is the only place in the world that harvests perique, prized by connoisseurs as the strongest and most flavorful of tobacco varietals. The labor-intensive cultivation process dates to the early 19th century, and its rituals have descended as occupational folklore through a handful of local families, including Martin’s. Martin's body of work will be on exhibit February 7th - 28th.
