Petunia steps into her royal moment — adorned in florals, sparkle, and the unmistakable elegance of a Muses shoe. This piece celebrates the joy, glamour, and feminine magic of Mardi Gras, where beauty is thrown from floats and caught by open hearts. Painted as part of my ongoing love letter to New Orleans, Petunia the Muse captures the spirit of parade night — anticipation, celebration, and the kind of wonder that lingers long after the music fades.

This original artwork is part of the Petunia Collection, a series celebrating the beauty, resilience, and spirit of New Orleans through the character of Petunia the Pelican. Each piece is created by hand and infused with texture, sparkle, and storytelling — a lasting reminder that the magic of Mardi Gras lives on year-round.

Petunia the Pelican 💜

A graceful New Orleans pelican crowned in magnolias, Petunia represents resilience, beauty, and joy after storms. She is gentle, strong, a little bit regal, and deeply rooted in the magic of the South. Petunia reminds us to stand tall, bloom where we are planted, and always look for the light.
