Nestled in the heart of Southern Louisiana, our gallery celebrates the rich cultural and ecological heritage of the region through the extraordinary work of TJ “Big Cypress” Maudlin, a master of live edge cultural art. Specializing in Louisiana Sinker Cypress, "Big Cypress" crafts pieces from reclaimed old-growth wood, sourced from the bayous and swamps where they were cut down between 1700 and 1930. These logs, many of which have been preserved underwater, are transformed into stunning wood art that honors the history and traditions of Southern Louisiana.

With a deep commitment to cypress conservation, protection, and sustainability, our gallery not only showcases breathtaking live edge creations but also serves as a testament to the ongoing preservation of Louisiana's natural and cultural legacy. From pecky cypress to new growth, every piece tells a story, making our gallery a sanctuary for those who appreciate the beauty and significance of historical and cultural art.
