Since moving to the Acadiana area after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Janelle
began teaching art workshops to kids and adults at the Acadian Memorial
in
St. Martinville where she was a volunteer. Interest in her workshops
led to her bringing her art classes to other towns in the area including New
Iberia and Delcambre. Every summer she packs up her classroom and
continues to bring her mobile art classes to budding young artists.
