Lori DemandHometown: Dickinson, TexasAge: 63Artistry: Painter and gallery owner Online: itsalori.com, @itsalori2 on InstagramShe calls it “The Garden,” but where artist Lori Demand has just planted her creative life does not branch off into shadowed, overgrown woods. The central room inside In Demand Art Studios leads to the slightly more tamed workspaces of her artist friends. The only flowers are her vivid abstract expressionist pieces coloring the walls in feral strokes.

There’s dancing. And then there is ballet. There are dancers. And then there is Anna Grace Boudreaux. The only initial hint that the 14-year-old St. Joseph’s Academy freshman is a nationally recognized ballet dancer who trains 27 hours each week might be that she sits up a lot straighter in her chair than most teens would.

Cana BrumfieldHometown: Baton RougeAge: 22Artistry: Upcycled apparel, jewelry and artOnline: lunaleafstudio.com, @luna.leaf.studio on InstagramA sincere compliment from a tirelessly caring teacher.

Kathryn Ann MancusoHometown: Central, LouisianaAge: 25Artistry: Fine art watercolor and acrylic paintingOnline: kathrynannart.com, @kathrynann.art on InstagramA beginner’s medium, some say, until they fully explore the wildly unforgiving, often intimidating mess that can appear when watercolor lands on paper. If specificity is any sort of aim, then controlling such flows of pigment is akin to steering the direction of a river. And in Louisiana, we all know how difficult that can be.
