Decadence and Elegance
OPENING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH, 6:00-8:00 P.M.
Join us for the opening of a duet exhibition- Decadence and Elegance: the work of Carey Hero King and Intaglio & Co. on Friday, November 6th, from 6:00-8:00 P.M.
New Orleans-based artist Carey Hero King and the one and only Intaglio & Co have a shared passion for elegant architecture and decadent interiors- underlining this connection is the delicacy both artists achieve through miniature scale.
The works of both Carey Hero King and Intaglio & Co. are breathtakingly small, inviting careful observation and presence. Together, this exhibition highlights the power of delicacy and how the smallest moments form the most impactful memories.
NOW ON VIEW
Chloe McCarrick- RÊVERIES
OPENING FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23rd, 6:00-8:00 P.M.
New works by Chloe McCarrick bring together women whose lives and imaginations span earth, ocean and cosmos. Moving between scientific discovery, mythology and Gothic literature, Chloe McCarrick creates layered visual meditations on those who have explored, imagined and transformed our understanding of the world.
Each artwork is a reverie on a different woman and her world. The subjects move between astronomy, space exploration, marine biology, Gothic literature and mythology. Together, they travel from the ocean floor to the furthest reaches of the universe.
These works take historical figures, scientific discoveries, natural forms and fragments of story, and layer them into something imagined. McCarrick’s works are not straightforward portraits or biographies. They are visual meditations on the lives, achievements and inner worlds of their subjects.

Portraits and Paintings at Plein Air
812 Royal Gallery presents a curated selection from the gallery, hosted by Hotel Leighton at The Mill- Friday, October 16th, from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. with a cocktail reception to follow.
Megan Milani- Layered
Layered debuts new works on paper from Brooklyn-based artist Megan Milani. Each painting starts with a color palette guided by intuition, and a willingness to see what emerges. Layer by layer, a memory takes shape, shifting and settling as the painting comes together. Milani draws from photographs of her home and travels, creating palettes inspired by weathered facades, overgrown gardens, and the small things that reveal themselves when you slow down and look.
Presented at 812 Royal Gallery, Layered comes home to the city where Milani learned to look twice. New Orleans rewards a second glance, and this body of work offers the same experience. The longer you stay with it, the more it gives back.
Johnston Burkhardt- Soundstitch
Charcoal lines move across the canvas like sound waves— looping, overlapping, and colliding with painted forms, fabric, patchwork, and hand stitching. Works by Johnston Burkhardt are intentionally chaotic, but held together by a coordinated palette and a repeated visual language.
Created with acrylic, spray paint, charcoal, oil pastel, canvas, fabric, and embroidery, Soundstitch explores the point where spontaneity meets structure—where separate marks and materials begin to find a rhythm together.
FIRST FRIDAYS ON ROYAL- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2ND, 6-8 P.M.
Nicole Katsuras- Vestige of Place
New works by Nicole Katsuras capture the tender, fleeting imprints that shape how we see the world around us. As a mother to young children, the only constant for Katsuras is change, as new words, new heights, new worlds unfold by the day. Time slips through the fingers at the moment one thinks to pause.

Une Femme Forte
René Romero Schuler
This body of work began as a quiet conversation with myself about strength—what it really looks like, and how it lives in the body. Une Femme Forte is not about power as performance, but about endurance, presence, and the kind of resilience that often goes unseen.
The title Une Femme Forte speaks to the complexity of femininity. Strength is not always loud. It can be gentle, inward, and deeply personal. It can live alongside doubt, tenderness, and uncertainty. For me, strength is the courage to remain open—to feel fully and to endure.
Showing this work in New Orleans feels especially meaningful. It is a city shaped by beauty, loss, and persistence, where strength is woven into everyday life. My hope is that these paintings offer a space for reflection, and perhaps a sense of connection—for anyone who has learned that strength is often born from vulnerability.
— René Romero Schuler
