FLAMINGO A GO-GO

"When people see my art I hope that they experience joy and escape the reality of what they are going through and enter a technicolor world.... I would love to be an ambassador of color..."   

Becky Fos was working long demanding days as a hairdresser and initially started painting to relieve stress..."That and I was tired of looking at the bare white walls in my house," she told Inside New Orleans. "In creating art from a place of joy" Fos soon found others sharing that same joy in her work. Gallery after gallery were soon selling her work around the world and eventially Fos found herself with her own gallery on Magazine Street. Animals have always played a big part in Fos's work and in 2017 as Flamingo a go-go prepared to open its doors they turned to Fos to created this work on their prominent front wall near the WWII Museum.
