From N.O. to ATL...moving artwork


Artist Patricia Nobella hails from New Orleans, Louisiana and relocated to Atlanta, GA after Hurricane Katrina. Her artwork inspires me to become more involved with Black art and research other artists who she models. Artists such as Romare Bearden, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Jacob Lawrence and Jean-Michel Basquiat to name a few. Nobella attributes being from New Orleans as a major inspiration for the artwork she creates. Not only is she a talented painter she also creates jewelry and can hold a note or two...lol. Check her out at the Apache Cafe on Wednesday nights and visit her website for info on artwork!
