In 2001, I was invited to have a solo show at the German-American Cultural Center in the New Orleans area. It was there that I met Dr. Marc Matrana whose ancestors owned the Seven Oaks plantation. He was writing a book on the history of the plantation and his ancestors. He was interested in my painting of Seven Oaks as I had actually sketched there. The mansion was destroyed by hurricane Betsy and he wanted to put a photo of the painting in his book. I felt very honored to have my painting reproduced in his book Lost Plantation: The Rise and Fall of Seven Oaks. Prints of this painting are available under notes and prints.
