Born in Frankfurt, Germany, and raised in New Orleans, LA, Xavier L'Herisse was always surrounded by art and influenced by a diverse culture.  Of his work, L'Herisse said, "The process of creating abstract art is a deeply personal and introspective journey.  As I immerse myself in the act of painting, I am transported to a realm where time ceases to exist.  The fluidity of rein, the versatility of acrylic and the spontaneity of spray paint enables me to experiment, pushing the boundaries of my creativity."  This display will be in the Gallary 708 from December 1 to January 12th.  Reception is December 6.
