For the 2010 French Quarter Festival Poster, renowned local artist Christy Works-Boutte, the first deaf graduate from the highly-acclaimed Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL, has used her love of vibrant colors and thick palette knife painting technique to capture the spirit and jubilation of this wonderful event. Christy's love of energetic colors and her ability to create harmony using thick oil paints has become a trademark of her paintings. Being chosen by her hometown, Gretna, Louisiana, as the artist for the Gretna Heritage Festival is one of the highlights of her career. She has enjoyed creating the posters for the festival every year since 2003.

Since then, Christy has gone on to create posters for the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience, The International Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo, The Jean Lafitte Seafood Festival, and others including the Plaquemines Parish Fair and Orange Festival which was named the "Best Festival Poster" of 2008 by the Louisiana Association of Fair and Festivals. Her distinctive style can be seen throughout her work including her "Love That..." series, many festival posters, variations on the fleur de lis and other New Orleans and Louisiana-inspired pieces. All of Christy's paintings continue to be works from the heart.
