I often joke and say Katrina was an artist because she taught me what to paint. This piece is the perfect example. It gives new meaning to “You can’t take it with you.” (Terrance Osborne)

New Orleans Artist Terrance Osborne, grew up in the heart of his culturally rich city being inspired by his diverse and colorful social surroundings.  For the following five years after graduating from Xavier, he taught art at Alice Harte Elementary until Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and he relocated his family to Georgia. After two years in Georgia, he moved his family back to New Orleans and created a new body of work depicting scenes of a colorful New Orleans saturated by Hurricane Katrina imagery. His work quickly became internationally recognized. Over the years Osborne would be featured in a slew of public media for his vividly whimsical works glorifying New Orleans culture. “New Orleans is one of those places in the world that everyone loves because our people love people.”
