| Reachel Mayeur is a New Orleans native, an award winning artist, and especially, a long-time active volunteer here at WYES for more than 30 years. She dabbled in art as early as grammar school continuing high school, constructing costumes and painting scenery for staged productions, and well as other art projects throughout her life. It would not be until after she earned a Tulane degree at night while working full time, and after renovating her house, that she would be able to allow time to finally begin immersion in art classes and workshops, truly beginning her pursuit into fine arts. Reachel has won many ribbons for her watercolors and her detailed graphite drawings. In addition she enjoys charcoal, pastels, calligraphy and photography. She has studied with nationally know artists such as Don Andrews, Judi Bettes, Linda Kemp, Dan Thomas, and Karen Vernon. Her local influences have been greats such as Doris Cowan, Alan Flatman, Robert Gutherie, Mickey Mullen, Kathy Stone, and Glen Weber. She is a member of many local art guilds. At the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts she has studied figure drawing, sculpture, photography. She is a gracious art donor for WYES as well as a published photographer.
