Growing up in Cut Off, Louisiana, Alexis Braud was surrounded by storytelling. She still finds inspiration for her work in the characters and inherent mystery of the bayous, swamps, and fens that she calls home. Braud realized her calling to be an artist and earned her BA in visual art with a focus on painting and sculpture from Nicholls State University. The raconteuse enjoys crafting, cooking, exploring her Cajun culture, and learning the ropes on the small farm outside of Hammond, Louisiana, that she and her family call home.
