Mandeville Louisiana
Artist: Kim Zabbia-Ponchitoula
Louisiana’s state bird, the Brown Pelican, soars across the state. Colors of navy, gold, and white. The LeMoyne Star quilt pattern in the background represents New Orleans, the port through which many of our ancestors arrived. The magnolia buds in the corners signify Louisiana's state flower in its infancy."
