a few things about me......
I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and received a Fine Arts Degree from Louisiana State University . For the next 30-plus years, I lived and worked in New York City as principal of my own firm Andre Lanoux Designs.
I divided my time between graphic design,textile design, product design for the home,and fine art painting.
In 2004, I decided to ( somewhat ) retire and moved back to New Orleans after nearly a 35-year absence.
Unfortunately, just one year later, I experienced incredible losses in the fury and devastation of Hurricane Katrina. When I was finally rescued by The National Guard, I had only the clothes on my back and one canvas bag of possessions to my name.
It is indeed so very sad that I lost all of my art and design work, photos, mementos, my wonderful art and design books,my incredible collection of bowties....the many things that I had acquired and enjoyed since I was a very young man.
However,I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to rebuild my life here in beautiful Greenwich, Connecticut. I now live very quietly in a small cottage surrounded by flowers, birds, squirrels and deer. I paint every day. And lately I have been very focused on honing my culinary skills. One of my greatest pleasures, next to creating art, is preparing a wonderful meal and sharing it with friends in my home.
