Macey Percle

@FrancisRoseDesigns

My name is Macey Percle and I am the artist behind Francis Rose Designs. The inspiration for Francis Rose Designs comes from combining the middle names of my two children.I am a wife and mother, living in Southern Louisiana. I have been drawing and creating for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, I would obsess over my coloring books choosing the perfect colors, mixing colors, and shading in the shadows, just as my daughter does now. I would attend art classes and either paint or learn to crotchet in the summers spent at my Nana’s. Having a creative outlet has always been my way of escaping from stress and anxiety and I feel like my best self when I am creating. While I do not have a degree in art, I am trained in watercolor and charcoal (which is my first love) from my art classes with a local artist growing up. I have recently fallen in love with heavy body acrylics using an impasto style to sculpt out my painting adding more depth and texture. I am a former teacher and taught grades Kindergarten-3rd for six years before deciding to stay home with my little ones. I am grateful to have had that time with them, but now that they are both in school, I have decided to dive headfirst into creating again. I always knew that my path would eventually lead to art in some form but it just took some time to get here and work up the courage to share my art with others.

Tilla

@tillaonline

The band Tilla formed after Taylor Scott (lead vocal) and Nathan France (producer, sax player) organized a writing retreat in New Orleans in early 2022. While the band shapeshifts for each project and performance, its core members include Eric Newble (lead vocal), Morgan Ryser (pianist), Evan Ryser (vocalist), Andy Jones (bass), Quinn Jacobson (guitar), and Jalen McCullough (drums). Their songs layer thoughtful lyricism with timeless analog sensibilities and contemporary electronic innovations. Their work blends and bends genres and conventions by stretching across Blues, Soul, R&B, Dance, Jazz, and Gospel. Tilla released their debut EP, Term of Endearment (2023), which is filled to the brim with spirit, character, care, happy accidents, and so much more. The band’s distinct multi-vocal harmonies engage audiences in an intimate encounter where the song is the room. In the spring of 2024, Tilla was the artist-in-residence for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Hip-Hop Arts Residency program. The band headlined the annual Line Breaks Festival with their 50-minute musical production, Heaven Inside, at the Overture Center for the Performing Arts. Heaven Inside debuted the band’s latest original songs. The show featured performances from the legendary Kongolese percussionist Papa Titos Sompa (New Orleans, LA) and organist Leotha Stanley (Madison, WI). Together their musical contributions help make this project as delightfully ethereal as it is grounding. While occasionally popping out for house shows and festivals, the band has been busy with recording new music.

Loveday Funck

@lovedayfunck

Louisiana based artist, Loveday Funck started her career in art later in life, but her love of history and whimsy have been a constant interest. Making use of a talent for the manipulation of digital images, she creates a twisted fairy tale world, finding her inspiration in the centuries old buildings and graveyards of New Orleans and the unique sites that dot the Acadiana landscape. Her art has been recognized in international juried exhibitions as well as competitions. Her work often amuses as her sense of humor is revealed in juxtaposing the world of formal, Victorian era photography with the portraits of modern pets or other animals. Working from antique imagery and her own photography, Loveday Funck turns her eye to the intersection of history and the fantastic. Combining the surreal experience of her heart with the images of historic Louisiana she creates a whimsical, colorful, and usually macabre world. Come and partake in its skewed sacrament.
