I've teamed up with my dear friend, and fellow Louisiana artist, Ellen Ogden, for an exhibition called PLEIN WILD. This show started with a shared love for process, paint-stained hands, quiet moments outdoors, and being fully present in the experience of making!
Plein Wild is the story of two artists who work differently but think the same:
- “Plein” for Ellen, who captures landscapes and light in bold, expressive brushstrokes!
- “Wild” for me, printing the creatures of the coast with all their textures and truths!
Visit this collection of works from July 11 - September at the Julien Poydras Center (New Roads). Our opening reception is Friday, July 11th from 6 - 8 p.m. - it is free, open to the public. We’d love to see some familiar faces come celebrate with us!
Collectively, Plein Wild honors place, movement, and the beauty of just paying attention.

Julian Poydras Center

New Roads, Louisiana
WHEN:
Opening Reception: Thursday, July 11, 2025 | 6-8 p.m.

Would love to attend but don’t drive at night. Live in new orleans wish you were coming here ….love your art i love the swamp
Poydras is generally open T W Th 10:00 to 3:00.
Check in with Mindy if you are coming in from far away…(lives on False River but has a Houston number)…text 713-376-0025, let her know when you are interested in coming. Timing adjusts depending on events in the space, and sometimes also available on Monday or Friday.
What days, hours is the Poydras Center open each viewing week that the show is there?
Thank you
