Char White a life-long resident of Louisiana, received a BA from McNeese State University in Lake Charles and spent her early married life in the Sulphur, Louisiana area. She resides in west central Louisiana with her husband, Ray.
Her previous focus has been in visual arts experimenting with a variety of mediums.
Most recently she has returned to her earliest creative outlet, writing. She uses one of her favorite mediums, fabric collage, as the cover art for her historical fiction works, as well as in the illustrating her children’s series, “Writing With Paula.”
Her current journey into writing began as letter writing to her grandchildren in an effort to introduce them to relatives they would never know otherwise, and to preserve histories that were on the way to being lost. The young people expressed such an appreciation for the tales that they evolved into a series of books that described the real experiences of growing up in Cajun country in south Louisiana. A lover of history, Char draws on stories she’s heard from her parents and grandparents for inspiration.
Her artwork and books can be seen at the Natchitoches Art Gallery in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and The Natchitoches Art Guild Gallery page on Facebook
