Coastal Creations at Pascagoula River Audubon Center
Biloxi native Linda Fayard’s art will be displayed at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center's fine art gallery through July 2. The fine art gallery showcases individual artists, community exhibits, and student exhibits throughout the year.
Fayard did not think that she had the artistic talent it took to be an artist when she was younger, so she never took any classes. It was not until she was looking for a new hobby and her daughter got her a watercolor set that she learned. After watching hours upon hours of YouTube videos so that she did not disappoint her daughter, Fayard successfully learned how to paint with watercolors. Now, her repertoire has expanded to include acrylics and oils.
Her favorite thing to paint?
Flowers, ladies, and anything coastal.
FAYARD’S ORIGINAL PIECES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE THROUGHOUT THE SHOW.

Angie Juzang was honored with the Pat Santucci “Spirit of the Coast” Award in early May. She was awarded before the attendees of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber
of Commerce's Annual Meeting
at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino. Juzang currently serves as the Vice President, Marketing & Community Relations at Memorial Hospital at Gulfport.
While keeping busy with her work, she still manages to find the time
to give back to her community. In 2013, Juzang founded The Legacy Group, which is an organization
focused on enhancing the economic prosperity of African American professionals and business owners. She has helped it expand to include all minorities and co-founded The Legacy Business League. Juzang has also served on the board of directors for a variety of organizations along the Gulf Coast and has had multiple Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber
of Commerce leadership roles, including President of the Coast Chamber Board of Directors.
Juzang’s past accolades include the Gulfport NAACP’s Drum Major of Peace.
