"T'es Belle Comme Une Fleur" Canvas Prints

About the Work

Featured in both the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and The R.W. Norton Art Museum, this mixed-media collage honors the beauty, resilience, and cultural legacy of 19th-century Creole women. A blooming flower symbolizes their quiet strength and layered existence, while culinary traditions anchor identity through pages from Mary Moore Bremer’s Creole cookbook and depictions of okra, peppers, and red beans. Hanging laundry nods to wash day traditions, as moss-laden clouds and tangled roots reflect the deep endurance of Creole heritage. This piece is both a celebration and a tribute to the endurance, complexity, and cultural contributions of Creole women—rich, nuanced, and ever-evolving; it is meant to honor not only their grace, but the intricate often unspoken narratives they carried.
