(now see if you can get that song out of your head...)
Clementine Hunter (1986/87-1988), cotton sharecropper and self taught folk artist who is said to have produced nearly 5,000 works of art on canvases, old window shades, bottles, cardboard and brown paper bags, captured a little slice of Louisiana like no one has since. She was keenly aware of her surroundings, and profoundly influenced her faith, all of which melded together like a storybook:

When you make it down to New Orleans, be sure to visit her collection at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
