Earl Hebert
Biography and Artist Statement:

Widely recognized artist Earl Hebert began as the owner of a small neighborhood grocery, moved on to the restaurant business in the 70's with popular Beef & Ale Steak House and then the highly successful Judge Roy Beans Saloon, which he helped design along with partner Charlie Goodson, but it in the mid 80's that he seriously began his art career. By 1989 he was in New Orleans exhibiting his work at Jackson Square. After being questioned several times about hoe to frame them, he began to make his own frames out of wood and painted vibrant colorful designs on them which gave a whole new dimension to his already crazy and often humorous Cajun folklore scenes. He would soon open Mr. Ear's Gallery on Royal Street with a 30 second commute time from his apartment across the street. As his self-taught artistic style evolved, he painted not only the Cajun jole de vive but took commissions for personal family subjects and events.  

He painted Cajun Blues musicians, his favorite being Clifton Chenier. In 2004 Zydeco Shoes A Sensory Tour of Cajun Culture was published combining two important facets of Cajun life, cooking, and music. He traveled to France where he was able to view pieces by some artists he most admired.  Van Gogh was a definite influence as well as Monet.  Seeing these paintings up close inspired and propelled him to produce even more art. A self-imposed goal of 50 paintings a year was sometimes achieved, sometimes not; it did allow him to leave behind a prolific visual history of the unique Louisiana Cajun culture. Patrons of his work come from far and wide; from Europe and South America, from California to New York and Canada and points in between. January of 2005 he passed away. He gave so much joy to this world not only with his paintings but his entertaining stories (some hard to believe but actually true), his amazing creativity and his wonderful sense of humor. If you met him, you'll never forget him.
