Louisiana Through Wild Eyes is a collaborative, traveling art exhibit by photographer Dave McNamara and watercolor artist Katherine Klimitas that explores the rich and untamed beauty of Louisiana wildlife. Each show features a unique pairing of Dave’s striking wildlife photography with Katherine’s expressive watercolor interpretations, offering two distinct yet harmonious perspectives of the same subject.

Through Wild Eyes invites viewers to see Louisiana’s animals through both the lens and the brush—two visions, one wild story.

Commercial fishermen, tribal leaders, educators, and young families confront a future marked by land loss, stronger storms, and economic uncertainty. Yet even as the landscape changes around them, they continue to rebuild homes, revive traditions, teach Louisiana French, and pass hard-earned knowledge from one generation to the next.

Set in the bayous of southern Louisiana, On High Water is a portrait of resilience, belonging, and the enduring ties between people and place.
