meet New orleans artist:
Casey Langteau Johnson
Casey Langteau Johnson has been painting her entire life. She earned her degree in Painting and Drawing from Louisiana State University. Her primary inspiration comes from the natural beauty of her home, New Orleans, Louisiana. However, Casey constantly searches for new ideas abroad, trying to spend as much time as she can in different parts of the world.
Casey is known for creating large statement pieces in pastels and neutrals. She strictly uses palette knives to obtain thick, touchable texture. She uses this impasto technique to describe coastal creatures in an abstract impressionist style. She exaggerates her subjects to remind the viewer of the immense amount of beauty around them.
Casey hopes that her calming artwork inspires the viewer to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. It's hard to turn off the immense distractions of everyday life to see how inspiring the world can be, but her hung artwork can be a practical and timely way to enjoy it. Casey’s paintings have been brightening homes and lifting days since October 2015. She strives to continue making a house feel like a home full of charm with her southern artwork.

Artwork througt the years
October 2015 to Present
After graduating college in Painting in Drawing, I thought it would be best to have a more practical, 9-5 career. While working at a photography studio, I started painting in my free time. At first, my artwork would sell to my super supportive family and friends. They gave me the confidence to share my artwork on Etsy, which led to my first art sales to collectors I didn’t know personally. It was a crazy, rewarding feeling!! The business grew even more when I launched a website and offered paintings in decor boutiques throughout Louisiana. I was surprised to find myself painting in ALL of my free time and throughout the night to fulfill orders.
I took the leap and became a full-time artist in January 2019. I’m so glad I took the chance on myself because a few short months later I found the opportunity to lease a space on Magazine Street for a one night show. I was overwhelmed with shock and gratitude when gallery space was packed from wall to wall. The collection sold out, but I had the faith that renting the space long-term was meant to be. 2 weeks later, I reopened a completely renovated space with a whole new collection- the theme of this release was champagne! It was all a perfect fit. Fast forward to today, and there is still a lot to celebrate!
