Ron Picou was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and enjoyed fishing and crabbing in the bayou and marshlands during his youth.  You can see Ron's affection for his hometown in his art, which consists mainly of moody bayou scenes and energetic New Orleans street scenes, as well as a few food pieces, which are a lot of fun.  Ron studied fine arts with the John McCrady Art School and at Tulane University.  carmen's is very proud to carry many of Ron Picou's serigraphs.  Not only is Picou a very talented printmaker, craftsman, and painter, he is also Carmen's new next door neighbor in New Orleans!
