Larry Desvignes

A native of New Orleans, Larry Desvignes discovered his passion for art at the early age of nine. Inspired by the encouragement of his grandparents—who regularly gifted him coloring books and pencils—Larry began cultivating his love for visual storytelling, laying the foundation for what would become a lifelong creative pursuit.

Throughout his school years, his vibrant, imaginative style remained a constant. Although his professional path initially led him into the hospitality industry, Larry never strayed far from his artistic roots. Friends and family frequently requested his artwork, keeping his creative energy alive well into adulthood.

In 2018, a significant turning point arrived when a back injury required him to take an extended break from work. During this time of reflection and healing, Larry reconnected deeply with his artistic calling. He began painting full-time, showcasing his work at a local New Orleans farmers market. There, he honed his technique—experimenting with palette knives and textured layers—to develop a bold, expressive style that reflects both the spirit of his city and the rhythm of his journey.
