"The Crescent Wilds" is a mixed media collage series that honors the enchantment and grit of New Orleans and the bayou through a lens of surreal folklore and personal mythology. Set within weathered shutters, each piece blends analog and digital techniques to create otherworldly tableaus where mermaids, winged alligators, and floating shotgun houses evoke transformation, resilience, and Southern magic. This series bridges fantasy with cultural memory, inviting viewers into a dreamlike landscape rooted in place yet untethered by reality. Its visual storytelling and evocative symbolism make it a strong fit for galleries that celebrate regional identity, folklore, and imaginative mixed media work.
