Fleur
de lis Ite According
to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia the word
Fleur-de-lis is literally translated from
French as "flower of the lily", and is
widely thought to be a stylised version of
the species Iris pseudacorus. Decorative
ornaments that resemble the fleur-de-lis
have appeared in the artwork from the
earliest civilizations. It has been used
as a symbol of royalty, religion and
art. The
Fleurs-de-lis appears on military badges
like those of the Israeli Intelligence
Corps and the First World War Canadian
Expeditionary Force . They may be chosen
for sports teams, especially when it
echoes a local flag, as with the former
Quebec Nordiques NHL hockey team and the
New Orleans Saints football team, and in
coats of arms and logos for universities
(like the University of Louisiana at
Lafayette and Saint Louis University in
Missouri), schools (in St. Peter,
Minnesota) and companies (like the Royal
Elastics shoe company). Click on

2013 12/07-12/08 Sylvia Thornell Corban
was born and grew up in Warren County just south of
Vicksburg, Mississippi. She studied art at Hinds
Junior College under Professor Louis Walsh, who
instilled in her a life-long love of art and
knowledge of studio technique. Sylvia earned a
F.F.A. from the University of Southern Mississippi,
and then spent nine years teaching art in public
schools. Feeling the need to develop further as an
artist, she gave up teaching to devote more time to
painting. Her highly realistic
paintings, rendered exclusively in watercolor, are
grounded in her close observation of, and deep love
for, her Gulf Coast home. She vividly captures on
paper the rhythms, scenes and specific details of
that unique region which stretches from the bayous
of Louisiana across Mississippi to southern
Alabama. In the fall of 2000,
she met another artist with a different approach
and soon partnered with Denny Knight. Together through their
artwork they have created a complete line of
functional art objects that extend from the garden,
to the bath, living room and into the
kitchen.

Denny,
a native of Louisiana brought a new direction for
Sylvia's artwork. His expertise in printing fabric
and creating functional products allowed their
artwork to come off of the walls and into different
parts of people's lives that their artwork had
currently not been able to reach.
