'Cancer Alley' Fine Art Print

2020

A stretch of highly-industrialized land along the Mississippi River in southern Louisiana is notoriously known as Cancer Alley. The residents of Cancer Alley, who are predominately Black, have rates of cancer and Covid-19 significantly higher than the rest of Louisiana. Their risk of getting cancer from air pollution is 95% higher than most Americans and in April 2020, St. John the Baptist Parish had the nation’s highest per capita COVID-19 death rate.

I am a painter, muralist, and conceptual artist living and working in New Orleans. I paint tonal landscapes, often using pigments from the land itself. My paintings explore the parallels between humanity and nature, including our past and present relationship to the land.

I graduated from Skidmore College in 2009 with a degree in Art History and Studio Art. I have worked closely with artist Oliver Herring to host three iterations of his relational works, “Task Parties,” and have also been involved with the Turnaround Arts program through President Obama’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. I have participated in multiple exhibitions in New York and New Orleans, and my paintings and commissions have been sold to collectors internationally.

I am also an educator, activist, and mother. My partner Josh and I have two little ones, Jade and Hazel.
