Louisiana-based artist Loveday Funck started her art career later in life, but her love of history and whimsy has been a constant interest. Utilizing her talent for the manipulation of digital images, she creates a twisted fairy tale world, finding her inspiration in the centuries-old buildings and graveyards of New Orleans and the unique sites that dot the Acadiana landscape.

Her art has been recognized in international juried exhibitions as well as competitions. Her work often amuses, as her sense of humor is revealed in juxtaposing the world of formal, Victorian-era photography with the portraits of modern pets or other animals.

Working from antique imagery and her own photography, Funck turns her eye to the intersection of history and the fantastic. Combining the surreal experience of her heart with the images of historic Louisiana she creates a whimsical, colorful, and usually macabre world. Funck currently lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
