Meet artist, Harriet Larroquette Mayeaux, a New Orleans native who joined the LWS Board in 2025 serving as the Co-Director-at-Large for Fundraising. Since a very young age, she has been creating art of some kind. Growing up in the Mid-City area of this great city gave her access to the French Quarter and local artist and art galleries. She has attended several workshops and has taken private lessons from local artists in New Orleans.
Art has always been a haven in her life and continues to this day. She prefers realism and super realism in her art. Creating this type of art is a form of meditation, she states. Inspiration for subjects comes from daily life and noticing the sublime to the ridiculous, and capturing the feeling and light of the subjects. She loves the texture of old architecture and the beauty and diversity of nature. Her art tells a story. As she creates through different media you are made aware of the fragile nature of creativity. Favorite working mediums are Watercolor, Oils, and Photography.
She is currently President of the Amite Art Guild, in Amite Louisiana and an active member of the following Hammond Art Guild, Hammond, LA., Jefferson Art Guild, Metairie, LA., Art Guild of Louisiana, Baton Rouge, LA., Louisiana Watercolor Association Baton Rouge, La., and Watercolor Society of South Texas in Corpus Christi, TX. She has participated in the Pike County Art Council at Exhibition in McComb, MS., and the Pearl River County Arts League in Picayune, MS.
