About the Mural

The mural in the front living room was done by a local artist, Josh Wingerter. It was inspired by the homeowners passion for music, community members, and the sense of place New Orleans creates. In the owners own words “It’s the single most meaningful piece we’ve invested in this home!”

Much of Josh’s work contains colorful images that pay homage to legendary people. He appreciates the New Orleans culture that he was born into. His work does feature some of the local flair, but he rather constantly expose himself to “new information in order to always be inspired.” Josh likes to stay stimulated, garnering inspiration from a variety of sources, from the tellings of philosopher Alan Watts, matters in social activism, to books, movies, and all genres of music. He claims that his art themes come to him in waves, and he lets the art define him and tell him where to go.
