Provenance: From the collection of Betty-Carol Sellen and Martha Burt. Roy Ferdinand was a "find" of A.J. Boudreaux, an owner of Barrister's Gallery in NOLA. A.J. was always looking for unrecognized artistic talent among the city's residents. Betty-Carol once had 14 or 15 of his drawings, but over time various friends induced her to sell one or another of them so these 10 are what remain.
