The bayous, luxuriant flora and flat, fertile fields of the Delta regions of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi often gave inspiration for Kuimeaux’s art. Cypress-fringed bayous are the subject of many his finest works. In this video Kuimeaux (KEE-mo) talks about one of them, the imagined Wisteria Bayou, painted in 1984 in Monroe, Louisiana.
This video was produced in 2023 from footage shot in 2015 in Sherwood, Arkansas at the home of Kuimeaux’s sister and brother-in-law, Linda and Dan McInturff. It is presented in loving memory of Kuimeaux.
