inRegister, A Day in the Life of the Arts

Making faces is the name of the game for artist Cora Barhorst of Cora B. Gallery, shown here putting the final touches on a portrait in her studio. Barhorst, a graduate of St. Joseph’s Academy and LSU, began doing celebrity portraits during college; two years ago, she added child portraits to her repertoire. “It took off,” she says. “It’s been really fun talking to moms planning their own gifts for Mother’s Day. I work directly with them to make sure I get their portraits just right.”
