“Like colored glass filtering sunlight, Mandie Manzano’s pieces are suited for a monastery or distant castle. Gentle maidens and lush scenes craft fairy tales; and light is her medium. Soft yet luminous rays break through, colors gradate, and warmth spreads. Each work is a vivid patchwork of colors, bold lines, and patterned swirles, reminding us our brilliance fully shows when our light shines through.”

About
Mandie Manzano has been a professional artist since 2011, blending traditional techniques like mixed media, acrylics and inks and digital tools like her iPad. Her unique style (Gumboism as she calls it) is often inspired by stained glass, giving her pieces a captivating sense of light.
She has collaborated with big names like DreamWorks Animation, Diamond Art Club and Warner Brothers, and you can find her art in magazines, on book covers, and in galleries across the globe.
Based in Louisiana, Mandie's art is driven by her belief that it can bring joy, hope, and healing. She finds inspiration in old stories, the beauty of the bayous around her, and her faith.
“My goal is to minister through art, bring smiles, and share God’s light. I hope my work spreads love, hope, and reminds people how deeply loved they are by their Heavenly Father—even in the darkest times.
If you’re reading this, remember: you are a masterpiece created by the ultimate Artist. You are original, priceless, and deeply loved. †
Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I’m so grateful for each of you!”

Bring a slice of Louisiana hospitality into your home with my custom-shaped pillow inspired by a lively seafood platter. Imagine sinking into a sofa surrounded by the warm glow of fairy lights, the air thick with the tang of garlic, and a whimsical pillow shaped like a seafood platter full of shrimp, crabs, crawfish, and chargrilled oysters at your side. These cushions celebrate the joy of seasonal feasts, backyard boil, and slow conversations over a sunset sky. Playful and bold, Manzano's Big easy pillows are an easy way to signal your love of crawfish boils, jazzed-up Sundays, and Cajun flavor without saying one word.
The double-sided, mirrored design keeps the look striking from every angle. Colors stay bright and saturated, so the pillow holds onto that freshly-made, just-brought-to-the-table feeling. With a range of sizes and a plush, resilient fill, these pieces work as quirky accent decor for a kitchen bench, a dining nook, or a cozy reading chair. They speak to people who collect food memories and live for good meals shared with friends—those who want their home to feel like the best seat at the table and of course those who have an extra love for Louisiana cuisine!
