Aline Moreaux was born to create. Within hours, she can turn a blank screen on her tablet into a quirky crawfish-themed greeting card or a romantic couple’s portrait.
Her Louisiana-inspired pieces can be spotted all over town. Flip through a stack of her royal blue Baton Rouge posters in a bin at a Mid City Makers Market pop-up, or sift through baskets of pink spoonbill greeting cards, alligator stickers and watercolor bumblebee and crab prints for sale at Bin Q, Tread BR and Fresh Salon. And as her customer base grows, you’ll increasingly find them lining walls in homes across the state.
Moreaux is only 23, wrapping up her senior year at LSU, but she’s already won major local awards, including this year’s Student Best in Show at the American Advertising Federation Baton Rouge’s ADDY Awards. She’s excited to keep growing, as she collaborates with more local businesses and explores new mediums, including her first mural for Hands Producing Hope’s upcoming brick and mortar.
