About the author

The Smith & Wisznia collection's singular focus: artists living, working and exhibiting in Louisiana post Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana during this period of renewal, rebirth, and rebuilding experienced an art renaissance. There was a migration of creatives from all areas of life to Louisiana. Musicians, Fashion Designers, Architects, Writers and Visual Artists congregated, forming a vibrant foundation of cultural declaration and inspiration. The artists in the Smith & Wisznia collection were on the front lines when 'all hope was abandoned'. Louisiana and its inhabitants were in a state of turmoil, hopelessness and uncertainty. We needed honest, fearless and visionary artists to articulate our collective consciousness which would undoubtedly spearhead a catalyst for catharsis.
