Mistretta, who started her series in 1986, has expressed a desire to conclude this chapter of her artistic journey to explore new creative avenues. Despite her relocation to New Jersey, she remains deeply connected to New Orleans, inspired by its spirit and culture. Mistretta aims to focus on contemporary art but dreams of exhibiting her Mardi Gras posters in a Louisiana museum. She invites public support for this initiative, celebrating the joy her artwork has brought over the decades.
