A documentary exploring the life and art of famed Louisiana artist Clementine Hunter aired on Louisiana Public Broadcasting this past August. Combining both vintage photographs, as well as paintings, the documentary paints a full and vibrant picture of the self-taught artist, who spent many of her years living on Melrose.
