Throughout this website, you will find images of artworks from a number
of Acadian-Cajun artists. They have graciously given me permission
to use their works to enhance the story of the Acadian and Cajun people.
I've put the images together on this one page to show you their fine work.
Note that with all of these images, it will take a while to load everything.
I've also tried to add information on acquiring a copy of the prints.
Please don't copy them. They are the sole property of the artists. It is not within my power to grant permission for you to use them. Thanks. |

Robert Dafford is known for painting murals
world-wide, some specifically related to the Acadian-Cajun people.
He has also done a series of paintings on the Acadian-Cajun people.
You can find prints from that series for sale. Checking with art
galleries and gift shops in Lafayette would be your best bet at finding
a copy.

would require a monetary fee.
