St. Martinville – Mary Desormeaux brought a proposal for installing commissioned religious paintings throughout the city to the St. Martinville City Council at its regular meeting Monday evening at City Hall.
The council eventually opted to encourage Desormeaux to seek private businesses willing to have the artwork placed on their property. The paintings would be part of a beautification project through the St. Martinville Chamber of Commerce. Desormeaux is president of the local Chamber.
She told the council that she plans to commission several paintings by artist Sarah Melancon to place at a number of locations in the city, starting, she said, with a painting of the Madonna and Child.
