A Cerulean Cat for Frances

This is my friend Frances Boudreaux. Besides being one of those special people who has a positive energy everyone wants to be around, some of her many other talents include floral design, fine art making, writing, educating, gardening and cooking. The walls inside her home are covered with her many exquisite floral and landscape paintings which gives the feeling of having discovered a secret garden.


Frances is also an author. Published in 2011, “Where the Sun Don’t Shine and the Shadows Don’t Play” is an autobiography about her years growing up under a mother who suffered from mental illness which manifested itself through obsessive compulsive hoarding. It’s available on Amazon in both paperback and e-book versions. I highly recommend it to anyone who grew up living with a loved one who suffered from mental illness.


Currently, Frances serves as the Project Director for The Good Food Project(a project of the Food Bank of Central Louisiana), which maintains an urban community garden and teaches children the skills necessary to grow food for themselves and others.


Thank you Frances for this commission. It’s always an honor to be collected by another artist, and I hope you are reminded of how much I value our friendship every time you see it.
