Frankie De Melo
 Frankie De Melo
was raised in southeast Louisiana and attended college in Western
New York, where she received her degree in visual arts. After
spending time in New York City and Buffalo, post graduation, she
decided to reclaim her southern roots and moved home where her
career in art continued. She studied for one year at Louisiana Tech
University, under painting instructor, Peter Jones and drawing
instructor, Kathy Velard. Since she has been back in Louisiana , and
having survived the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, her art has
taken a turn. Using both oil and acrylic she paints on everything
from canvas and sections of fence board, to tin and window panes.
Although most popularly recognized by her landscapes of the
Tchefuncte River, Frankie also enjoys doing figurative work, jazz
musicians, and murals.

Kelly R. Guidry
 Kelly
Guidry was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana and came from an
artistic family. He has
always been an artist of sorts, however in 1992 Kelly discovered his
true medium. Enrolled as
an Advertising Design major at the University of Louisiana at
Lafayette, Kelly took his first sculpture class.
He loved it immediately and it soon became his unofficial
minor. His passion soon
evolved from the mallet and chisel to the use of a chainsaw.
Being introduced to welding he pushed the scale of his work
and developed a rough-edged style called
“Modern Primitive” because of the use of modern motor and engine driven
tools to execute concepts inspired by the art of primitive cultures.
