"Alligator Fleur-de-lis"

This painting honors two important symbols that represent Louisiana’s unique heritage. The alligator is symbolic of the Cajun way of life and the wilderness of South Louisiana. The fleur-de-lis, the official state symbol, honors the influence of Louisiana’s French heritage. A heritage that lives on in the flavors of the food, music, architecture and joie de vivre (joy of life) that is so much a part of life in Louisiana.
