Jennifer Garant named top artist by DÉCOR Magazine
March 2006—Jennifer Garant has been named one of the top five women at work in the art and framing industry by DÉCOR Magazine.

The March 2006 issue focused on five women making a difference in the industry. Garant was selected for her efforts to help New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina.

A native of Canada, Garant has spent much time in New Orleans and takes inspiration from it to create her artwork. She and husband Tadd Loucks planned to move to New Orleans before settling in Bloomington, Indiana.

After New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Garant urged other artists to donate proceeds from sales to relief efforts. She is donating 12 months’ worth of her print royalties from Wild Apple Graphics to hurricane relief through the American Red Cross. Garant also hopes to establish a fund to help visual artists return to New Orleans.

“For me, it was just a no-brainer,” said Garant. “New Orleans is my favorite city in the world because it’s filled with artists, musicians, people with millions of stories floating around. It’s conducive for thinking and creative people.”
