About me

Industry Arts
Location New Orleans, LA
Introduction Updated 2020: My late husband George Rodrigue (1944-2013) encouraged "Musings of an Artist's Wife" some ten years ago as a continuation of my life's work. Since 1991 I've shared his artistic, personal, and philanthropic legacy in as broad and quality a manner as possible. George and I partnered on the development of all aspects of his career and life, including five Rodrigue galleries, 26 solo museum exhibitions, a dozen books published both nationally and internationally on his art, and extensive education outreach. In 2017 I established The Life & Legacy Tour, expanding George's vision further through exhibitions of original artwork from his archives, as well as vignettes, quotes, background, and memorabilia. Projects include museum exhibitions, education initiatives, an ongoing public lecture series, and written and online publications. Today, when I'm not on the road for Life & Legacy, now its own 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation, I live between New Orleans and Santa Fe, NM, with my current husband, Douglas Magnus, also an accomplished artist, and George Rodrigue's longtime friend.
