Artwork includes permanent fixtures to Bienvenue Mon Ami such as the entrance gates and iron work by Austin Lanier, Amite artist/entrepreneur - Dirt Road Metal Works, the bronze statuary by renowned artist Giovanni Porratz of Las Vegas/San Francisco, and exquisite non-metal signage by "Signs and More" of Hammond. Colorful murals and paintings by Rachel Rodriguez, an aspiring New Orleans artist, adorn the walls at Bienvenue Mon Ami. Other artwork includes pottery by Susan Hazy of Annapolis, Maryland and room theme paintings by renowned local artists Theresa Beaubouef and Susan Shumate.
The original logo for Bienvenue Mon Ami was designed by Jennifer Heller, an architect of Reston, Virginia, and the facility architecture was designed by Pistorius and Associates of Hammond. Ronnie Perrin of RJP Contractors in Ponchatoula handled the Main Building contractor details, and our furniture was manufactured by central Ohio Amish artisans and retailed by Ashley Furniture. The property is nothing less than exquisite, and we invite you to experience how the carefully chosen pieces complement the landscape. Some of the artwork at Bienvenue Mon Ami is available for purchase. Just ask us how you may take it back to your own home or office or how you can get in touch with the artists to commission their work.
