Cole Pratt Gallery in New Orleans has added a new painting by Susan Downing-White to its online ‘New Arrivals’ section, presenting ‘Pelican Island, LA (West of the Bird's Foot)’ as part of a broader batch of recent works. The listing identifies the work as an oil on canvas from 2026, sized 30 by 48 inches, and priced at $14,750.
The gallery’s update arrives through its website rather than a separate exhibition announcement, and the material provided points to a sales-oriented presentation with purchase and inquiry options attached to each work. Alongside Downing-White’s painting, the same email-style page features additional new works by the artist, including ‘Cat Island, MS’, ‘Dog River Summer’ and ‘Memory of Summer’, all dated 2026.
Downing-White’s titles draw on Gulf Coast and Mississippi Coast place names and familiar regional references, suggesting a continuing focus on local landscape and memory without any accompanying artist statement in the source material. The gallery page does not supply curatorial commentary, but it does establish the work within a sequence of new paintings that foreground coastal geography through title alone.
The broader ‘New Arrivals’ selection also includes works by David Knox and Mac Ball, indicating that the gallery is using the update to showcase several artists at once. Knox’s offerings on the page are archival pigment prints on aluminum, while Ball’s paintings are listed in oil on canvas, reinforcing the varied mix of media in the gallery’s latest online inventory.
Cole Pratt Gallery’s website lists its mailing address on Magazine Street in New Orleans and presents the update through its standard online storefront structure, with links for art, artists, exhibitions, contact and about information. The source material does not indicate an opening reception, exhibition run or in-person event tied to Downing-White’s painting.
For collectors and viewers following the gallery’s online inventory, ‘Pelican Island, LA (West of the Bird's Foot)’ stands out as one of the larger works in the current group and one of the highest-priced items in the update. The page records the painting as available through the gallery’s purchase and inquiry functions.
