Kristy Oustalet

Kristy (Oustalet) Duke is a a color obsessed painter living and working in New Orleans.

Kristy has always loved a good table. Not necessarily a perfectly set one, but the kind that looks like people have actually been there, with half finished drinks, shared plates, food being passed around, and things slightly out of place.

The Tablescapes collection is really about that feeling: gathering around a table, lingering a little longer, and those nights you don't want to end. There's a little bit of New Orleans in that, the idea that a meal is rarely just about the food. Bold color and vibrant brushstrokes bring that energy to the paintings and capture the feeling of a table that's been well enjoyed.
