What is Swamp Sprouts?
Swamp Sprouts is a raw and earthy reflection of my need to nurture the creative spirit and advocate for mental health. Louisiana's enchanting swamp creatures are just one of the many inspirations for my hand-painted artwork and illustrations. Every painting and illustration is made to promote positive transformation within, building a world where self-love and unity rule.
While my specialty is original acrylic paintings on wood slices, digital illustration has helped me reach new audiences and offer affordable versions of my art to the community in the form of prints and stickers. I also enjoy working on commissions for local businesses, whether that's through painted murals or custom digital illustrations.
I am currently based in Slidell, Louisiana, and my artwork can be found in-store at Green Oaks Apothecary, Roots: Plants + Coffee, and Vintage Finds. Swamp Sprouts can also be found throughout New Orleans, Louisiana.
Every second, dollar, and awe-struck moment spent on this website helps fuel the creative work I share. I'll never beg you to buy something, but I will always advocate for supporting artists however you can — your support is an energy exchange I value more than words can say.
The Farmer's Market Painting Collection
The Farmers Market Painting Collection comprises hand-painted artwork inspired by farmers market fruits and veggies. So far, I have painted a bunch of carrots, a beet, an avocado, a bunch of asparagus, a strawberry, and a blackberry. Each 10 to 15-inch wood slice hosts one painting coated in a thick layer of shiny resin.
Carrots inspired the first piece of the collection, and ironically, the whole conception of this collection is like a carrot. I thought I was getting one thing from above the soil, but when I dug deeper, it revealed a sustaining and fruitful surprise. I had no idea the littlest decision to buy carrots at the farmers market would produce such a fulfilling collection. From the tiniest seed sprouted the Farmer’s Market Painting Collection.

Add little pockets of Louisiana art to your daily life and support local art while you're doing it. Every dollar goes right back into my creative process, from buying supplies to paying art market vendor fees. Thank you, in advance.
