In 1989 Rodrigue opened his own gallery on Royal Street in New Orleans' French Quarter,
and in 1991 he followed with a gallery in Carmel, California. After Hurricane Katrina in
September 2005, he opened in Aspen, Colorado, and in the Lafayette Oil Center, ironically
just down the street from his very first gallery more than thirty years ago. Rodrigue and his
wife Wendy live in New Orleans’ historic Faubourg Marigny. (www.georgerodrigue.com)
