New Orleans: Artist Wayne Manns


I was headed to breakfast at a quaint spot called "Stanley" and as I walked across Jackson Square I spotted this artist, Wayne Manns.  He was gracious enough to indulge my question:  What inspires you?  "Jazz. My Dad....and Black Folks."

He is a self taught artist and has lived all over the world.  His work has been published and some pieces are in the art collections of Quincy Jones and Bill Clinton. I laughed at the irony as he tells me the piece he is currently working on (in the photo) ...was peed on by a dog earlier this morning.

To learn more and see some of his additional work, please visit www.WayneManns.com
