We have gratefully returned to New Orleans, but rebuilding from the largest disaster in U.S history and the loss of my glass studio is a different matter. Please click on my “Katrina Tale” for details.

My wife Kellie and I, have lived in New Orleans for the past 14 years; she as a costume designer, and myself as a glass artist.
Post Katrina, we are lucky to have a home to return to, while 1,300 of my neighbors died and 80% of our City was flooded. The destruction and following Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are inescapable.
Louisiana makes 25% of your (U.S.) gasoline and 30% of your natural gas, has 2/3's of all U.S. coastal wetlands, provides most of your shrimp, crab, oysters ect., all the chemical refineries nobody else wants, and the Mississippi River... Yet, we loose a football field of our coastal wetlands (storm barrier) of every 45 minutes.
9/11 had a flag on every SUV, but America slept while New Orleans burned. We were entertainment, reality T.V. at its best. Unfortunately Katrina “fatigue” has canceled our show; not to worry we have ”$8 dollars a Gallon” ready to premier soon...
Below is our Katrina tale,
Andrew Brott

My prayers are with you
I am a glass artist in S. Florida and I read an article in the Daily Herald on line that you and your wife Grengs are safe from the hurricane.
Our 2 hurricanes last year now seem small compared to what you two and your neighbors are facing.
I have a small home studio with 3 kilns and if you feal like melting some glass or just talking come on by and and have at it.I also am sure you have plenty of contacts but it never hurts to let someone know you care. I know when I am away from my glass for too long something is missing.
Love your work and have learned from it.
All my best and prayers are with you both.
