The Soul of Gris Gris Gardens

Who is Mama Roux?
Oh, cher, let me tell you! Mama Roux is my artist pen name, my creative alter ego, and the heart of everything magical I create. She’s deeply rooted in the spirit of New Orleans. Through Mama Roux, I channel the stories, colors, and culture of the bayou into my art, my words, and my designs.
When you see Mama Roux’s name, you know you’re stepping into a world filled with love, laughter, and a whole lotta Gris Gris magic. It’s my way of bringing you closer to the heart of Louisiana—one brushstroke, one word, one spellbinding piece at a time.

Feel the Spirit of Mardi Gras Every Day
Why wait for Mardi Gras Day to let the good times roll? The spirit of Mardi Gras isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a feeling, a rhythm, a way of life. It’s that spark of joy, that little extra flair, and the reminder that every moment deserves to shine.
You don’t need to save the magic for special occasions. Let’s wear the colors, dance to the music, and embrace the celebration every day—in our hearts, in our homes, and in our bodies. Because life, like Mardi Gras, is meant to be lived boldly, beautifully, and with just the right amount of sparkle.
