Being a lifelong resident of Southern Louisiana has had a definite impact and influence on Shaun Aleman and his artwork. The images he paints represent the unique heritage and culture of the region. The food, music, local festivals and even the catch phrases of the area lend themselves easily to his paintings. With so much going on Aleman will never run out of subject matter to paint: Growing up here, spending the weekends fishing, celebrating Mardi Gras, going to the French Quarter, and the thousands of other things that locals take for granted and as normal.
