Cora Rose Nimtz / Okra Bits / New Orleans
A self proclaimed southern mutt, Cora uses the naive style of southern folk art to create vibrant paintings of everyday objects and events.
Part time or full:
It is just me! I make and print all of my artwork, but I get by with the help of friends when their is heavy lifting involved!
One thing people probably don't realize about what I do:
People really do forget how long it takes to just package up some prints, got to make sure to do those shoulder stretches!
Favorite color:
grey poupon yellow
Favorite self care activity:
Sitting in the sauna is truly the best
Values I bring to my work:
Joy and memory, I have had so many people share such touching stories about the foods they grew up with and what it means to them, I am glad to give that opportunity for people to share their happy memories with each other!
Inspired by:
Festivals! I spend so much time alone, being around large groups of people always resets me
Favorite part of being the BOSS lately:
Sleeping in! I love working hard, but I also love taking it easy in the morning.
One way I fight creative burnout is:
Finding a new way to make art! I recently started sewing my pieces and it has really reinspired me.
