5 in 5 ... with Christy Boutte

This month’s five-in-five spotlight features Christy Boutte.  Christy is a local artist with strong roots in the Gulf South and its artistic community. A graduate of Ringling College of Art and Design, Christy has created art professionally for the past 15 years.  Her work has been commissioned by prominent organizations and non-profits and is showcased at her gallery in Gretna. 

This year we are fortunate to have Christy offer her original creation of “Lady Justice.”  The original will be auctioned off at this year’s Justice For All Ball on September 20th.  It is featured on this year’s invitation and captures the spirit and energy of our community.  Christy joins previous JFAB alumni such as such as Sharika Mahdi, Gustave Blache III, Amy Centola, Garland Robinette, and Terrance Osborne.
