Bayou Artist | Kim Paxton: Amid the woods of north Louisiana, Kim Paxton’s woman’s journey through nature, healing, and fungi sparks a unique fusion of science, storytelling, and jewelry design.

Streams of light filter through the layered canopy of oak, sweetgum, beech, and loblolly pines. They flicker over the forest floor as whispers of breeze rustle the branches above, carrying the sweet, earthy smell so familiar to north Louisiana this time of year. A woman moves slowly through the changing light, her boots crunching with steady rhythm through mixed grasses and leaf litter. She steps over a fallen branch and pauses there, her keen eyes scanning the area for hidden things, for things just beneath the surface and things too tiny for eyes that see only what lies ahead. Kim Paxton looks down and under and inside and through things, always honing her observation skills.

Seasonal Sips: These expertly curated wine are perfect for complementing every dish on your Thanksgiving table. From vibrant whites to bold reds, each bottle brings warmth, flavor, and a touch of celebration to your gathering.

From left to right:
GENUSA’S:
HIRSCH VINEYARDS - The Bohan-Dillon, Pinot Noir
The 2023 Bohan-Dillon is an expressive and elegant vintage of this wine. The nose is a gorgeous bouquet of raspberries, cherries, and plums, with subtle hints of graphite and cassis. On the palate the wine is juicy and drinkable, with gentle tannins. With air, notes of rhubarb, sumac and forest floor emerge. This is a wine of fantastic personality and character.

BEEF & BARREL:
MEEKER - Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2018 Winemaker's Handprint Cabernet Sauvignon has flavors of ripe berry and cherry, with notes of toffee and toasted oak, creating a warm mid-palate that bridges elegance with depth.

APERO:
MASSICAN - Annia
'Annia' is Massican's flagship blend, comprised of Italian native varieties Ribolla Gialla, and Tocai Friulano along with Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. Included in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2024, this pairs wonderfully with fried artichokes or grilled octopus.

Crispy Wave Ferns are excellent natural air purifiers, helping to improve indoor air quality by filtering out harmful toxins. Their wavy, upright leaves add a unique, sculptural beauty to any space while being relatively low-maintenance.

Watering:
Water your Crispy Wave Fern when the top inch of soil feels dry, using room-temperature water. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Sunlight:
A Crispy Wave Fern prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves, but don’t keep it in deep shade either — filtered light near a north or east-facing window is ideal.
