Susan Talbot Hoffman, a Thibodaux artist, has pulled inspiration from her childhood to produce her latest paintings.
Her exhibit, called “Jardin Potager,” highlights a mother-daughter legacy through several watercolor paintings with accompanying recipes from Hoffman’s and her mother’s kitchen.
“As an artist and biochemist, I have been inspired by all of the kitchen gardens surrounding me in our fertile alluvial soil deposited at the mouth of the Mississippi,” said Hoffmann. “These Cajun ‘jardins potagers’ were not only yielding of fresh produce for the kitchen but were endless sources of unusual-shaped vegetables and other related wonders for me as a child.”
Jardin Potager will be on display at in a bimonthly local-artist exhibit starting at 2 p.m. today at Southdown Plantation-Terrebonne Museum, 1208 Museum Drive in Houma.
“We are proud to exhibit the work of Susan Talbot Hoffmann,” said Rachel Cherry, director of the museum.
Hoffman has also created note cards, depicting her prints, as well as a recipe box containing all 50 recipes in her collection.
“As an adult, I see great beauty in the continuing cycles of nature from seed to flower to mature fruit or vegetable. I wish to capture a moment of these cycles in paint,” Hoffman said. “It is a return and escape for me to simpler, happier times. The paintings of this show are made in homage to these.”
Framed originals are on sale at Southdown Plantation. Prices range from $150 to $300.
For information, visit susantalbothoffmann.com or southdownmuseum.org. You can also call 851-0154.

Fourth Annual Juried Art Exhibition, Texas A & M Museum Center Forsyth Center Galleries (College Station, Texas) April 21 - August 19, 2012.
Having been asked now for the 3rd year running to donate artwork to a fundraiser for The Louisiana Center for Women and Government (headquartered at Nicholls State University, Thibodaux), Nationally Acclaimed artist Susan Talbot Hoffmann graciously did so & once again garnered top dollar for the cause. This glittering gala was held on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011,at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans. Headlining the celebrity guest list was Mario Lopez, “Dancing with the Stars” finalist and host of “America’s Best Dance Crew.” Appropriately enough, Susan donated two hand colored, embossed, photo etchings, depicting two icons of the New Orleans Garden District neighborhood: Louisiana Purchase Apartments & John Turpin's House...both on the famed Magazine Street. Susan's artwork was auctioned off by Dianne Breaux, Exec. VP of Breaux Mart & The Honorable Eric Skrmetta, LA Public Service Commissioner. Exemplifying her generosity, Susan gave each of the attendees art reproduction note card mementoes of the Louisiana Purchase Apartments, a gesture that tickled the crowd.
attracts notice of 10,000 visitors to the National Arts Club.
