Lillian's Art & Music Gallery

 

 

Lillian B. Almond  

Lillian is a Louisianian of French & Cherokee heritage. Her first language is French, which was the only language of her parents and grandparents.  Her ancestors were pioneering French settlers, who sailed directly to Louisiana from France and also from Nova Scotia making their home in Natchitoches, La.  where Lillian was born.  

     For years Lillian has painted pictures of her life. Some are painted of her home and family, some are painted of her travels and some are painted from her imagination, but all are who Lillian Baudouin is...a naturally gifted artist, singer, songwriter, poet, painter and sculptor, Even the folks at PBS agreed, when they visited her home to film her paintings and sculptures. She is currently a member of the Vicksburg Art Association and has gallery shows several times a year.  When Lillian launched her professional music career, at age 72, she didnt start off small. Her first gig was as opening act for her daughter Lucille's band, in front of 4000 adoring fans at the “Women in Emotion Festival” in Hamburg, Germany. Since then, she has performed her music in Europe, America and especially the delta regions of Louisiana and Mississippi.  Her best gig, however, has been the joy of singing to her children and her grandchildren. Lillian currently has 3 songs on her daughter, Lucille's CD, two of which she sings and the other arranged for Lucille's band. Lillian has also finished recording her solo a cappella CD, in which she is the only artist writing and singing all the songs. You can  listen to clips on Lillian's Music page. Her daughter will also be using Lillian's songs on the next 'Lucille' CD.

Creating is Lillian's life and the picture of the life she paints, whether in a song or on canvas will always be the real deal with the heart and soul of the Louisiana delta.
