Biography

Born in New Orleans, Shelley Hesse has been exposed to a culture rich in art and imagery. Her French roots led her to Paris in her early twenties where she discovered that her true calling was to be an artist. Shelley works primarily in watercolor, gouache, pastel, pencil, and ink on fine paper.

It is these individuals and companies that have gone above and beyond. They are rooted in commitment and passion to provide crucial resources for the management and protection of City Park’s magnificent trees, as well as community projects of the New Orleans Town Gardeners. They are true leaders and need to be recognized for their devotion to our community.

All current sponsors and tickets will be honored for the rescheduled event date. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your contribution, please email us at friends@friendsofcitypark.com or by calling 504-483-9376.

Again, we thank you for your support. We look forward to sharing a wonderful lunch with you on April 21, 2021.

With gratitude,

Linda Miller
